Case recommendations

Ok, right now I have two cases in mind. One is Raven 01 and the other one FT01. While FT01 is more expensive than RV01 and FT01 is a mid tower case. So for now I'm kind of stuck which one should I go for. I like FT01 because of its airflow design while RV02 is mainly because it is a full tower chassis and cheaper.
 
If those are the two you're cross-shopping, consider looking at the A+ (ABS) Black Pearl. IIRC it's a rebadged Lian Li 1k or 2k series, and it's somewhere around $100-120ish.

The FT01 is a nice case, but it does have its share of problems. Look up several reviews online and compare their notes.

The RV01 and RV02 are both interesting and unique, but I can't stand the looks. Silverstone has much better cases.
 
I just built a rig in the RV02, and can't recommend it highly enough. I do wish the styling were more conservative (the FT02 is coming soon - that'd be my ideal case, but it's been delayed time after time), but the airflow is great, allowing me to keep the system essentially silent. Cable management is good, too.

Yeah I do aware of FT01's problems, but I think those problems are bearable for me. Thanks for your recommendation!

What are you gonna put in it?
Got a price limit?
The price limit is about the price of purchasing FT01.

Probably I should wait for FT02 to release then.. Thanks

And thank you to the everyone of you who replied.
