Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| The Silverstone RVZ01 is a small and compact case, designed for small gaming or HTPC systems. Despite its compact size, the RVZ01 supports long graphics cards and up to three HDDs or SSDs. Silverstone has created an excellent, and in case you are not familiar with the Silverstone Raven lineup, a rather different product. The Raven RVZ01 is characterized by an aggressive design and uses a sophisticated and excellent cooling solution. We would, however, like to see the use on aluminum in place of steel. Despite its rather low price, Silverstone include a very good bundle with the RVZ01, as well as two slim 120mm fans. |

| Manufacturing quality / Ergonomics | + | - | |
| The build quality is always good with Silverstone and it is something that we certainly did not have any doubt about in the first place. The interior come completely painted in black and there are no sharp edges. During the mounting process we have not detected any particular problems but we would like to see a bit more use of a tool-less system. The internal solution chosen by Silverstone is very brilliant, thanks to the PCIe riser included in the package you can use powerful graphics cards as well as keep the size of the case at a minimum. Despite its small size, the RVZ01 is compatible with graphics cards with a maximum length of 33 cm and most low profile heatsinks on the market. If you are a fan of the liquid cooling, inside the RVZ01 there is enough space to install a 120mm AIO with slim radiator above the CPU area. | - Long graphics card

| Design / Layout | + | - | |
| Of course, the design is always a matter of taste but in our opinion, Silverstone has created a product with a very sophisticated design which you will either end up loving or hating. Given the size and appearance, this PC case would be perfect for systems based on SteamOS or any other powerful HTPC. Once again Silverstone managed to amaze us using an internal layout which is anything but ordinary, but at the same time, well designed in every detail. | - Design |

| Recommendation | + | - | |
| The RVZ01 from Silverstone is a very interesting ITX PC Case with a brilliant internal layout. On Geizhals.eu, the RVZ01 has a starting price of 74 euro excluding shipping costs. If you are looking for a compact case that can accommodate the latest graphics card available on the market, the Silverstone RVZ01 can be an excellent choice. It is also worth to note that before you buy the RVZ01, you will need an SFX PSU and also a slot-in ODD. |
