Introduction

I would like to thank SilverStone for supplying the review sample.


We have reviewed a large number of Silverstone products in the past and today are taking a look at the Raven 2 Evolution with USB 3.0. It takes the very successful Raven 2 and updates it with modern connectivity along with various internal layout changes. The chassis is available in black and white.

Packaging

Silverstone ships the Raven 2 Evo in a full color, black package. The front holds a partial image of the case along with the case name and a big mention of the USB 3.0 connectivity. On heather side, you will get to take a look at the interior of the chassis, while both sides list the specifications and have holes to aid in transportation of the fairly large box.


The case is sandwiched between two fairly sturdy Styrofoam spacers and packaged in a cloth bag to protect it from scratches and fingerprints at the factory.

You will receive quite the set of extras with the chassis. A cable adapter to connect the fans straight to the PSU and another to attach the 20-pin USB 3.0 plug to a 9-pin 2.0 header can be found alongside a large bag of screws. Silverstone also includes a big assortment of plastic parts. This allows you to install a 3.5 inch drive in a 5.25 inch bay. Place an SSD within the chassis, include plastic rails for a radiator and various other - less important pieces. Last but not least there is a fairly detailed manual part of the box.
