Final Thoughts

Some other competent contender, the Lian Li PC-A70F will set you dorsum the aforementioned corporeality, and although it'south a lighter all-aluminum instance, the cooling setup is not as impressive. At $160, the Antec Twelve Hundred makes a compelling statement, but it's like chalk and cheese when compared to the Raven 2 Development.

Information technology just has no equal, and if anyone is looking for something different, this has to be it. Silverstone even offers an all-white version for a small $15 premium.
