Text update:

Gah, cable management. I'll have to work on it. My ft05 has a scratch on window, will contact Silverstone.

I wish I had a modular power supply

I think there's enough room at the bottom for a dual 180mm rad. The magicool radiators are 30mm thick. You might have to lose the hdd and mount it sideways. Or, some other clever way.

Silverstone say on their website and in their manual, at least for the RV05, that they recommend the magicool radiator if you want to watercool it. I myself plan on doing that at some later date with my RV05, as it's enough to cool probably an SLI/crossfire rig.

They must of realized the popularity of them being used and gave a bit of extra wiggle room for it because trying to do it in one of the older cases means you have to sacrifice one of the best features which is the sliding filters. And the FT05 seems to have a lot of space in the back for routing tubing..

There's a decent bit of room, and, at least on the raven, the front section could possibly be cut into, and still be covered by the plastic, yet fit tubing into if for some reason it didn't fit. The back, where the PSU is doesn't have too much room if you have the drive cage in, but if you have a radiator in it's unlikely that you'll have any 3.5" drives in it, as the cage probably wouldn't fit.

Yeah, ill have to wait till i get a job, hopefully at frozencpu.com as they are 5 min away, and i could get discounts :)

Says that in my (amazingly well build) Manual

Its alittle tight in the back.

Cant do that on the ft05

It is a good manual isn't it, really well detailed I found.

Aha! I've found an advantage for the raven, now it does make up for the lack of aluminium!

WE NEED PICS. Looks good so far though.

I took pics, camera ran out of battery, can't find charger, don't have functioning computer with SD card reader.

Will look for battery/charger
