Raven Rv02-Ew -vs- 650D

[Hotthree]

Since I am not in love with the new rv03 case by silverstone it comes down to these two. I love the design that silverstone uses by rotating the mobo. But The corsair case also looks clean.

What are your opinions?

Grade based on looks, performance (temps/cooling), overall customization. Anything else you can think of.

Cooling definitely goes to the RV02, but aesthetics is so/so (depending on your tastes) and customization is pretty much non-existent.

Would the 650D have more space? It sure does seem like it to me. This might persuade me.

The 650D is $200US. Another option would be to spend an extra $20-$30 and get the FT-02. It has the same cooling as the Raven, but looks much better.

I think there's plenty of room for the usual components. It might get a little cramped inside if you decide to do a w/c loop, though.

Here's my setup (this was a rather quick cabling job):

Agreed, the FT-02 looks better as well, IMO. Not saying the RV02 isn't decent looking. I can think of a few on the market that are arguably less attractive.
