Silverstone RVZ03 Alternative

Caius Filimon · April 7, 2020

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of finding a lighter case for my setup that has virtually the exact same features as the RVZ03.

I believe that internal layout to be the most space efficient one possible for zero-compromise setups.

This case is around 3.8kg however, which I find to be absurdly heavy. I don't need a tank; just a case to keep the components from shorting and being crushed too easily when backpacking it when flying around inter-continentaly without adding pointless weight to it just so I stress about whether I'd be weighed at the gate.

Ideally, I would like the exact same thing but just not made of heavy ass steel. I would be willing to change from an ATX to an SFX PSU if needed.

The only requirements would be the ability to fit a 2.75 slot GPU (even if unofficially) like my 2070 XC Ultra (EVGA; the thicc boi) and two fan holes on the side of the GPU to which I can screw in two fans on the outside of the case. (Hot tip: I attach 2 mining rig fans on the outside of the case so I get 55 Celsius on the GPU when pushing the power limit all the way up to 129% it's so worthwhile if you game with headphones).

Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!

The Fractal Design Node 202 is the direct competitor to the RVZ series. That, or an ML08 also from silverstone.
