SilverStone Technology Gaming Slim Computer Case for Mini-Itx with Integrated RGB Lighting Cases (SST-RVZ03B-USA)

Great case, everything is good packed

The good: I think this is an awesome small case. It looks awesome and the division of the mobo and full size gpu is great for cooling. I was even able to fit a corsair H60 AIO in it. Temperatures are between 36-45 idle and no more than 70 when gaming, these are great temperatures! The bad: cable management is tough with an ATX, I recommend going smaller. The "magnetic" dust filters dont actually stick to the side of the case... The worst thing though is only HALF the front panel works; and for some reason I have a single blinding LED in the corner (refer to picture). The led strip, right side USB, and microphone jack DO NOT WORK properly. I've doubled checked the cables and there is no damage to the pins or anything. Also, a damaged pin or cable would not explain why the left side works because they're all part of the same front panel unit. So now I have one working USB plug and half an LED strip. I could sent it back for warranty, but that would mean rebuilding this computer in its tight frame.

Love this case. Great design and quality. I opted to remove the graphics card mount tray entirely since I used an AMD APU for this build and loaded it with 3 full size HDDs and liquid cooling! Since I'm using this for security camera and Plex DVR this is perfect. I did end up disconnecting the RGBs since this will be on 24/7. Overall great case.

This is one of the best itx cases on the market that still has a slim optical drive bay. It was actually pretty simple to put my new rig together, and you can tell that Silverstone put a lot of thought into the internal design. I was especially happy to learn that this case is able to support larger graphics cards, because this saved me a lot of time waiting for my new video card to arrive due to the pandemic. There are very few negative things about the case itself, but if I had to choose, I would say that the harddrive is in a bit of a tight space, the USB ports at the front have given me a few minor issues, and it would be better if the case was all metal. Other than that It's an excellent case!

Pros: The case aesthetically looks amazing and is made of durable, solid materials (case plates are made of steel, and the front plate is made of thick, solid, high-quality plastic). The case looks and feels high quality because it is. The material of the case seems resistant to oil/dust impressions, which is just another tick on the list of "nice-to-haves" this case has, and overall contributes to its high-quality look and feel. There are many options to customize the RGB strip's color using the motherboard control box. Blue, green, red, purple, and white are the ones I came across. White/Blue is shown in the pictures. The case supports a horizontal or vertical position, whichever you prefer, attachable foam kickstands for both options are included. As for airflow/temperatures, the case does very well. My CPU temps at idle are 30C-40C, with a 34 degrees C average over 2 hours of usage (internet/video streaming/minor programs only). During the same timeframe, my GPU temps were between 30-42 C. Under load (playing Grim Dawn), the temperatures also did very well. CPU ran 38-55 C and the GPU at 45-55 C, with the default (quiet) fan profiles being set. I think even better GPU temps could be achieved if you are willing to change fan profiles. Under a heavy load (playing MH: World to test): CPU ran 46-67 C and GPU ran 65-76C with default fan profile. Still pretty good. So overall, if you are wanting a small form factor case, with great airflow, this is a good option. Cons: The RGB header that is attached to the case for hookup to the motherboard (to control the RGB strip via motherboard software) doesn't work with ASUS motherboards (and probably quite a few others) and is proprietary. You won't be able to control the RGB strip via your motherboard without getting some sort of adapter (which I don't know if it actually exists). Silverstone does not provide an adapter to work with motherboards which have 5V addressable header. Only ones that have a 12V header will work with this case without any adapter. Cable management is an absolute nightmare, it was possible for me, but it literally took hours (1-2) and multiple (5+) revisions. Do not buy a 150 mm PSU. It says that it would fit, but I don't know how. I bought a 140 mm PSU and it barely fit. It was VERY tight to get everything inside and manage the cables in an appropriate way. A picture is attached to see how cable management was done. The case is not easy to work in.

The case looks nice but has several issues. It is very difficult to work with once you install the power supply. There is barley any room to route the cables to where they need to go if you can even manage to jamb the power supply in place long enough to get it screwed in place. Also the screws that come with this case are so low quality that the heads start to strip with the slightest turn of the screw driver. Once its all together and closed it looks very nice and is very easy to pick up and move around, I just dread every time I have to open it to have to do anything on the inside.
