SilverStone states that even though this is a mid-tower chassis, it is still capable of housing Extended ATX motherboards and graphics cards longer than 13 inches. Cable management is also improved with a new 5cm thick hard drive compartment to allow nearly all cables to be connected behind the motherboard tray. It also features 2 USB 3.0 ports on the front panel, which was missing on the RV02 version.
The power supply compartment is located in the lower front part of the chassis, which is a very unique approach, but SilverStone states that it will "facilitate cable routing so anyone can assemble a pristine looking system with maximum airflow efficiency."
There are dual-purpose front bezels that help to keep the RV03 "looking sharp and uniform whether the user is setting up for maximum air cooling or for a silencing build." And i have to agree with them, they do look great.
Also note that there are two versions, one with a window and the other without.
