PC cases have evolved beyond mere protective outer shells and into an integral component that could complement what resides inside. Here are the best of them in several different categories.

Silverstone believes that the Raven RVZ02 is one of the easiest compact Mini-ITX cases to build a gaming system in and we're going to put that claim to the test with multiple hardware configurations.
The Silverstone "Mammoth" MM01 is built for folks who want a robust case that can protect systems in harsh conditions. It's completely dust and spill-proof with a HEPA air filter and 87.7L capacity.
Silverstone, Corsair and In Win have launched new mid-tower contenders that are said to deliver the build quality, design, features and performance of pricier models without breaking the bank.
Just when we were starting to think that the Sugo series lost its Mini-ITX mojo, Silverstone has stepped forward with the 11.5L SG13. Though not the smallest to date, it may be the most capable.
Silverstone's stacked design might offer unbeatable cooling performance but it also results in a lot of wasted space. The FT05, a calmer, classier version of its extreme gaming case aims to fix this.
The RV05 ATX case maintains the unique stacked layout of the Raven series but cutting much of the wasted space in previous models, while delivering one of its better looking designs so far.

The latest member to Silverstone's Raven family has gained recognition for being the ultimate Steam Machine enclosure. It can cram a fully-fledged enthusiast PC into an impressively small space.
When we compared the best CPU air coolers recently we wondered how these would fare against a water cooling setup. Closed loop systems are simple to install, perform great and are inexpensive.
The most obvious advantage in the Fortress FT04's design is improved GPU cooling. Once everything was installed the case performed well. We set the fans to medium and they were almost silent.
For years now we've had the ability to take a compact Micro ATX motherboard along with a high-end GPU and squeeze them into a custom case not much bigger than a shoe box.
The new Silverstone Fortress FT03 is unlike anything we've seen from the series before, utilizing its own unique design to take the form of a compact microATX case.
The Raven series employs an unconventional design that rotates the motherboard and power supply so they are mounted vertically with the I/O panel facing the top of the chassis. Besides improved cooling courtesy of the...
