of Rome 2 Total War click now to learn more with all the talk lately about uh

00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:23.599
using PCS as consoles whether it's with a Windows operating system or with Steam

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:30.840
OS there has been quite a lot of attention given to very small gaming

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:33.360
optimized cases that are also capable of

00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:38.320
holding a pretty impressive amount of Hardware so this my friends is actually

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:42.440
a pre-production unit of one of the ones that people are particularly excited

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:47.600
about this is the still Silverstone Raven RV zo1 and I apologize for all the

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:51.360
fingerprints all over it it's because I've actually already done a build

00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:55.600
inside the thing so we'll start with the accessories here you get a few actually

00:00:53.760 --> 00:01:00.879
you get three of these handy dandy little magnetic fan filters Silverstone

00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:05.600
is a strong believer in the idea of having positive pressure inside the case

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:09.560
with filtered intakes because what that means is dust is filtered on the intake

00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:14.360
and then because you have positive pressure inside it is passively being

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:19.080
exhausted everywhere else so dust cannot accidentally be sucked into the case so

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:22.479
we've got one of these for my top fan and then I only needed one additional

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:26.479
one for the bottom fan right here but it does come with a third all right so then

00:01:24.759 --> 00:01:30.280
let's finish off the accessories we've got actually the accessories are kind of

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.759
neat we have a little uh four pined two other more different two four pins fan

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:39.079
adapter so that's for those dual fans on the bottom you can see there's an extra PCI bracket cuz I already built in it

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:42.799
there's a GPU support bracket that's actually kind of clever I just took it

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.840
out because I didn't really I didn't really think I needed it I just have a

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.719
GTX 670 in there and then we've ah this is actually kind of neat so check it out

00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:55.600
we have a raven logo here on the front but you can actually pop that bad boy

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:58.520
off and you can run this guy in either a

00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:01.680
vertical configuration or a horizontal configuration so it comes with one that

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.200
that's curved like that hopefully you guys can see that and pop that on there

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:12.000
and then it is meant to be run this way so it comes with optional feet you can

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:14.640
either use the large feet so they're all

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.319
conveniently label labeled back right uh front right front left all these kinds

00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:22.360
of things and you pop these into the little things here so the whole thing

00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:26.040
sits on nice little rubber feet or it comes with a different set of rubber

00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:29.879
feet there you go just your standard sticky rubber feet that you can put on

00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:33.599
the bottom if you want to run it in a horizontal desktop mode you also get all

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:38.640
the screws you need to install your system but of course A lot of them aren't in there anymore because I

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.879
already did that so let's go ahead and get this bad boy open oh no I guess

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.720
let's show a view of the sort of the outside first so here you're going to

00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:49.159
see ventilation on the left hand side all

00:02:46.519 --> 00:02:53.480
right here you will see ventilation on the right hand side silverston Raven

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:58.200
series is known for breaking new ground as well as for uh excellent ventilation

00:02:56.040 --> 00:03:02.120
creative ventilation sometimes here we are going to find a very very small fan

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.720
that looks like a 60 mm I don't remember noticing that when I was ah yeah that's

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:09.400
from it's from the sfx power supply so

00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:13.599
there's your power supply intake as well as two more fan slots one of which is

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:18.239
occupied by a slim 120 mm fan that is feeding air flow directly to the

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:22.080
graphics card underneath it we find at the front two USB 3.0 ports front audio

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:27.480
ports as well as reset and power switches and finally a slim uh DVD driv

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:31.959
so you can those have gotten a lot less expensive in the last few years here so

00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:35.879
it's become somewhat of a viable option at the back we see a bit of a unique I/O

00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:40.879
configuration this is actually my first time using a PCI Express Riser card so

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:45.159
in order to achieve this half height form factor and yet have a full height

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:49.640
graphics card you can put up to a GTX Titan in here no problem they have

00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:53.799
actually run a riser which you're going to see out of the PCI Express 16x slot

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:59.840
on the board so you can install the graphics card sideways that's how many of those Boutique systems like the IB

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.920
power Revolt are achieving this same feet of fitting a very very cool system

00:04:01.799 --> 00:04:08.120
into a very small place so on the top you see I actually accidentally

00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:12.159
unplugged that 120 mm fan as I was taking the system apart so this one

00:04:09.959 --> 00:04:18.239
right here sits directly over top of my CPU area so it is providing nice fresh

00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:21.680
air to not only the CPU right here but

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:23.520
also to my vrm modules as well as to my

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.440
memory modules which are hidden away down there I like the way that cable

00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:32.919
management is done in this case so the power supply itself is actually located

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:36.039
over here in the front it's actually a modular power supply in there but I

00:04:34.520 --> 00:04:39.000
should try to I should start taking it apart for you guys so you can see how

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:44.560
the whole thing fits together but the power supply is over here which means that all your cables either Snak through

00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:49.800
here to your uh to your graphics card they go here to your ssds so you can

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:54.680
actually put two 2 and 1/2 in ssds right here uh there's optical drive bay is

00:04:52.039 --> 00:04:59.960
actually under here yep so under here so you can run another one there and then

00:04:56.479 --> 00:05:02.560
you can also put additional ssds here on

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:06.240
this piece right here as well as here if you had an SSD instead of a hard drive

00:05:04.520 --> 00:05:09.199
if I recall correctly I could be forgetting something though it was

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:13.000
actually a few days ago that I built this thing so let's start taking it

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:17.199
apart this will be a new way of doing a case unboxing for me I'm using a fantex

00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:22.720
cooler there although you could use a stock Intel LGA 1150 cooler if you

00:05:20.080 --> 00:05:27.520
wanted right now I'm not aware of any ITX LGA 2011 cooler so the highest end

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:33.400
configuration you'll be going with in here will be a COR I 747 70k and then

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:38.560
that could be paired with as highend a single graphics card as you could

00:05:35.479 --> 00:05:39.919
possibly fit all right so we can pop

00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:44.759
this baby off I'm going to show you the PCI Express 16x Riser right here so it's

00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:48.479
actually a hard PCB so it's a it's a solid PCB and then that has an

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.000
additional Riser card plugged into it here but we're going to we're going to have to release the PCI Express lock

00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:57.919
here and we're going to pull this Riser card out first to take this baby apart

00:05:56.039 --> 00:06:02.199
so there we go we've released it there come on out come on out little little

00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:06.039
guy come on out little guy there we go good job little guy okay sorry I'm done

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.360
that now all right so I'm going to undo this SSD because this is also quite

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.479
quite attached indeed so that reveals how the graphics card goes in there so

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:17.319
there's a series of I can't imagine that that was the most efficient way to do

00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:22.479
this but there's a series of two more Riser cards maybe the finished product this is an engineering sample we'll have

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:27.960
a a single piece there but the graphics card plugs in there that support brace I

00:06:24.599 --> 00:06:29.360
showed you before goes on like this so

00:06:27.960 --> 00:06:33.120
you can basically adjust it to pretty much whatever spacing you want you can

00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:36.520
throw that on there it locks in place and then you put a screw in there and a

00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:39.720
screw in the top and it it holds it it's more of a concern if you were going to

00:06:37.880 --> 00:06:43.039
ship the case somewhere as opposed to if you were just going to build it and then

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:46.479
and then use it in one place the way a normal person would you can see that

00:06:44.599 --> 00:06:50.120
there's actually quite a bit of uh of length here so while you wouldn't

00:06:48.280 --> 00:06:55.199
necessarily be able to install something like an assus GTX 780 direct cu2 due to

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:59.639
the additional height actually that might even fit that'd be pretty that' be

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:03.039
pretty borderline though um you can definitely handle the additional length

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:07.560
just fine and then there's something else that I actually decided not to do

00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:11.919
for my particular build but you can liquid cool the thing so you can

00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:16.800
actually put a dual rad down here liquid cool the graphics card liquid cool the

00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:19.800
CPU and then it has intergrated mounting

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:22.680
points for a DDC pump so that's a

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:27.240
popular liquid cooling like DIY grade pump and you would what is it stuck on

00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:31.360
there we go and you would Mount that to this cross brace right here instead of

00:07:29.599 --> 00:07:35.440
mounting an SSD here so that's phenomenally cool good thinking

00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:40.120
Silverstone they really are um they really do push things forward in terms

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.919
of good compact design I mean we've seen this uh with the Fortress series their

00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:48.199
ITX Fortress in particular I think is outstanding all right so now that's that

00:07:46.280 --> 00:07:51.440
side let's go ahead and pull out this hard drive cage so I can show you guys

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:55.720
how all that went in there all right I've removed the screws sorry to be clear there were two screws on either

00:07:54.280 --> 00:07:59.199
side I would like to show you guys how the cable management works here before I

00:07:57.919 --> 00:08:03.360
pull the whole thing out though so you can see the front panel connectors are

00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:08.319
over here and I was actually able to with a little bit of cramming uh get

00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:12.680
those to go around in front of the power supply and hard drive cage right here

00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:17.000
and then I was able to make very good use of the space here in order to make

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:23.280
sure that the CPU area stayed quite clear you can also see uh my 24 pin and

00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:24.879
8 Pin motherboard connectors have been

00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:28.919
installed in a very tight space so we're going to go ahead and try to come on you

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:32.399
can do it there we go all right so I can show you guys how that all worked in

00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:38.519
here we've actually got six SATA ports on this p8 Z8 or z87i Deluxe motherboard

00:08:36.760 --> 00:08:41.959
from isus rather although I'm using a right angle connector here that was just

00:08:40.479 --> 00:08:45.320
stupid I just grabbed the first SATA cables that I could find and sort of

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:52.440
routed them over the RAM like that don't do that anyway let's go ahead and pull this baby out so first you install uh

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:55.519
Silverstone has excellent user manuals and they need them because you have to

00:08:54.080 --> 00:09:00.160
do the build in a specific order otherwise it just plain won't work you have to install the power supply before

00:08:58.839 --> 00:09:05.839
the hard drive and then you have to install that whole thing in there so anyway you can see the sfx power supply

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:09.880
that has an extension cord that runs from the back of the case into the power

00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:13.240
on on the power supply so I'll just show you guys where that is at the back of

00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.839
the case there and uh so that runs all the way around the outside of the case

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:21.079
actually in a very uh tidy Manner and then the hard drive just kind of well it

00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:27.279
screws on there I think that's pretty much it so that my friends is the rvz01

00:09:25.079 --> 00:09:30.640
which we're using for our internal steam machine it actually has Steam OS and

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:34.399
installed on it already so I'm going to have to put this thing back together now

00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:39.120
thank you for checking out my unboxing and overview of what I think is one of

00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:44.920
the most unique and uh it's an excellent DIY option if you don't want to buy one

00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:46.720
of those pre-done super compact machines

00:09:44.920 --> 00:09:49.360
and uh it's very reasonably priced as well so thank you for checking out this

00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:52.760
unboxing like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a
