When talking about Mini-ITX formats, two things stand out in the current market. Firstly there have been a lot of manufacturers releasing products in this form factor over the last few years, secondly that a few players have been using this format for a longer time than that. On of the most widely knows brands for Mini-ITX is SilverStone. They have released a long line of Mini-ITX form factor cases, and we have tested a lot of them over the years. The latest addition to this is the Raven RVZ01, and we must admit it lives up to the SilverStone legacy.

SilverStone has been in the marlet for years releasing small form factor cases, to be used for compact desktops, thin client PC's and HTPC's. The compact desktop category is mainly used for small powerful system with a dedicated graphics card, where the thin client category normally does not have room for these add ons, maybe a low profile card at best. Some time ago SilverStone introduced the Raven RVZ01, a compact, thin case but one with room for a full size graphics card.
