CCL Elite Raven II Gaming PC Review

Upon opening the well-packaged box the system ships in, you are presented with the popular Fractal core 1000. A 'wolf in sheep's clothing' case that may look basic to some but offers fantastic value for money with its good air flow and all black interior.

The case comes provided with a Fractal branded 120mm fan that runs at 1200rpm and has the capability for 2 additional fans to be fitted - a 92mm at the rear of the case and an additional 120mm on the side panel.

As you would expect with any system, all of the necessary drivers disks, cables, adapters and manuals are provided.

Although the GA-61MA doesn't have a substantial amount of connectivity, it should provide enough for almost everyone who would purchase this system and at this price point - its more than anyone could ask for.

The rear of the case is well ventilated and should provide adequate air flow with or without any additional fans.

That is an exceptional price, before looking at the price I was totting up the prices of all the components and then obviously adding in a bit for CCL and I was thinking this would be coming in at £600-£650 tbh

Good job CCL

Honestly I am glad that something like this got a review. Not everyone on these boards can afford the kind of stuff that typically goes up in the project builds section or even stacks up to most of the showcased builds, and to see something this simple, affordable, and decently powerful might just give the BROKE broke bunch hope. Plus this platform is pretty decently upgradeable: the form factor allows you to swap in something like a Maximus V Gene, move to a 7870 Tahiti LE card, a 3570K, and add a bit of decently clocked RAM, all at reasonable cost and all over time (PSU as well, of course). Anyone actually used this case in a build before? I have actually spec-d out a basic multi-monitor web-surfing home computer for someone based on this chassis and was wondering how this thing was to work with.
