[Case] Silverstone Tek RV02B-EW

I would like to see a review of this case if you can linus, I wonder what you would say about it.  IMHO it is a good case, and it really does keep the innards cool from my other cases, and with a little work you can can do a bit of water cooling with it, it is longer than it is tall. But for air solutions, it does the job, there is just one draw back to get at the bottom filters you need to open the windowed side of case. The image of the fron came out a bit blurry, but you can make out what it looks like. I even did a video to hear how loud it is, not the  best but it gives a good idea how loud the case is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4d_GAm77d8 

 

And for those looking for case, maybe this could work for you?

I always prefered the looks of the RV01.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

I think Elric did a review on it if I'm not mistaken.

 

Edit: Oh now I see you want Linus' opinion. Disregard.

I have the RV05, which has the slightly better cooling and without the 5.25" bays, which reduces it's size dramatically. I'm not interested in the RV02 because it's far too big to me considering the space it has in it is less than cases a lot smaller.

Btw if you're doing a noise test, have the switch on the low setting and connect the 3pin fan cable to the chassis headers and let the motherboard control the speed of it. The AP181's are a bit loud at 800 rpm

True the RV02 is not greatest case for room inside, it could have been thought out more in the design stage and you really have to plan you're build with this case, but for what I needed to do, it worked out pretty well. And it does keep things cool, even when running a game like Crysis 3 or anything that puts a load on my system, I put my hand on the top and I feel cool air compared to my old Antec case that just held the heat in. But that is just it the case is really made for air cooling and anything more, you have to do a bit of work.

I have the RV02, "non-E" version. I also like to hear Linus' opinion. Maybe he could think of some cool mods.  :)
