Unlike conventional
wisdom, which has the motherboard laid out in such a way that the PCI slots and
I/O connectors are located at the back of the case, the Raven has the whole
entire "back" of the case repositioned so it is literally the TOP.
Heat does rise so we can see some merit to this design scheme but we can also
see a lot of potential negatives as well. In the end we have a feeling the
success or failure of this case hinges on how well the engineers over at
SilverStone have done their jobs and not only anticipated these hazards but
actually designed workarounds to either minimize or remove said hazards. @ Hardware Canucks
