CASE
The Silverstone Raven casing are the first casing that utilized the 90 degree placement of the motherboard. I chose the RV02 because of its better air flow compared to the RV01 and also the price. I'm not saying the RV02 is cheap but its a lot cheaper compared to the RV01 which cost 11.5k while the RV02 only cost 8.5k. But in terms of performance and air flow the RV02 kicks the RV01 butt. The reason behind the 90 degree mounting of the mobo is that because of the science of air, especially the rule of hot air rising. On a normal case the main issue with temperature is that your GPU (vidcard) is directly affected by the hot air coming from your CPU, which causes your GPU temperature to rise, Silverstone addressed this problem and also the thing that i liked with these case is that its not your ordinary full tower case instead of adding on height, it added on its length, measuring an outstanding 28inches, your ordinary tower has a length of 18inches. This is one long and very cool and also at the same time unique case. For a better description check out the vid below

SPEAKER
My old speaker is an Bismark 2.1 Speaker, it did its job but due to time and constant sound abuses, its no longer that great, so a new 2.1 speaker is must. My first plan was going with an 5.1 Speaker but the problem with those speakers are the messy wires that comes with them and trust me, the sight of seeing wires makes me mad, so i decided to go with an 2.1 Speaker instead primarily because of easy wire management. I decided to go with an Logitech X-210, according to the reviews i read, its performance is unparallel to its value, its almost on par with the expensive Altec Lansing speakers. Costing only 1.5k, these speakers really pack a whallop. Check out the Vid below of the Sub that the speaker came with *note i had a hard time typing this post because i was listening to some uptempo music and the mouse cursor keeps on moving because of the vibration that came from the sub, and i had it only at 10%
Now its all complete, i will post another topic tomorrow about the assembly of "Cordoba"
That's all for now
Peace Out
