I cannot find very many reviews anywhere for this case and it is around 200$ so i would like to know if it is worth it.
From what i can see if has great air flow amazing cable management.

If you really like the case for its looks then go for it... Its a pretty good case but mind you its HUGE... The positive pressure thing really works in keeping the dust out...
I don't see why you would wanna change Element V... Thats a darn nice case costing more than $150... All you need to do is manage the fans in the case and you could do like the raven...

Personally I think the Element V case looks miles better than the Raven. I wouldn't 'upgrade' and keep your current case.

So you think the rv-02 is better the things that i dont like about it is the window is on the right side so i have to have it on the left side of my desk and if you have long cards like i do it can block the hard drives-- only 3 hard drive slots.

100x better than the first.If you're going to get one for sure, get the second.
If you like the Raven as I do this is the version to get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Also nice with side panel on other side - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
But there is a newer version of the Fortress the FT02 but its more expensive.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Don't know what you think of this or even if you can get it in the US but its a cutomized mid tower Fortress
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silverstone-fortress-ft0...
Its nice because its not as massive as the other cases, this is also another great case but again you pay for it.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Or its baby brother without the side panel - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
These are basically the cases I am looking at also, tough decision.

Too alien for me.
Honestly, I've always hated the HAF cases. You're spending too much money on looks (which I don't like) than good layout inside the case (which I want). If you're really after a good case the Obsidian Seriesâ„¢ 800D that abully linked you to is amazing. Also have a look at some Lian Li cases as although they're costly, they're probably the highest quality cases available today.

They are massive, great cooling and cable management.
I also recommended it a long way back in this thread, if you can afford it its a winner, even though overpriced.

The RV02 rapes any other case for aircooling.
This is a detailed review of these cases with the new AP181 fans. Your RV02 WILL come with these, but at the time of the reviews it did not:

Note that their GPU cooling performance out passes the HAF-X with hotter/more cards even more substantially. These things are also whisper quiet.

Actually the air cooling is only average.

The cooling is nothing special, but with some quality fans it'll do any job asked of it (other than maybe passive-cooling at 4.5GHz

I'm looking for a case and have read 4 reviews on this one and none report any cooling issues.One review even stated that there is enough room inside for a 6 pack and it keeps them at optimal drinking temp.
Thats the sort of case I'm looking for.
That is why you don't believe every review you see.
With high airflow fans, the 800D/700D provide average cooling. I've seen people go from HAF 922s to the 800/700Ds and be shocked by the bad temps. I've even seen someone with a NZXT M59 go to one and put his 5 aftermarket fans into the 700D and get a 5-10c increase across the board on temps.

Jesus so your saying don't believe Guru3D, Hardwarcanuks, Bit-Tech or Legitreviews.
There is no better feedback than user/owner feedback but I am somewhat surprised.

That's a FT02 review,not RV02.
This one would be RV02:

That was the RV02 with the old FM181 fans. The RV02s shipping now have the AP181 fans and will perform like the review I posted.
Refer above.
