One thing I didn't like with it is how easy it is to strip those holes, I accidently had the HDD cage misaligned by like a mm and stripped the hole trying to force it in, chipped the paint around it and everything. I assumed that if it'll get "angled" into the hole, that screwin g it in would align the cage better. WRONG.

Yup, that's why it has that angled vented cover at the top, so the wires still come out the back end anyway.

I can't hot link heres the review the picture is on

I like this case it's nice but my Armor is sturdy as hell (all rolled steel) and is big, roomy and frankly very well designed. I was gonna buy a raven 2 for my birthday but it would have been wasting a perfectly good case and buying something I didn't need. I'm trying to stop doing that but I might just break down and buy one sometime.

I have one question for the owners of this case. I really interest in this case but my doubt is the clearance in the floor in this case. My main systems always have a good watercooling component and my radiator is a Thermochill PA 120.3 the height is 60 mm and I don't know is my thermochill fit in the case floor.

I hope, this radiator fit in the floor but I wanted for someone confirm this.
