Totally agree. For quite some time, I have been bored with 99% of case releases. There's only so much you can do, right? This case has piqued my interest again.
@@johnt.848 An _H7_ Flow?? Lol it literally looks nothing like that... Maybe more like an H9, but only in the fact that they both have two adjacent sides that are glass. That's pretty much where the similarities end.
Anyone saying you are going to shill for the company because it's sponsored obviously hasn't watched any of your videos and know you. I have every confidence in your integrity to give us complete transparency and honesty.
A great video, thank you for taking time to check us out Paul! We can't wait to show you what else we've been working on and hope you'll check that out as well.
I started watching the video a bit skeptical, but the more you showed the more I noted they put a LOT of thought in all the features. The case looks REALLY nice... the glass panel to redirect air is amazing, gives a great effect with the lights on the fans. I really like it and with the amount of options, I don't feel like it is priced too expensive. Seemed to me quite well thought. I am impressed.
Really unique case and it actually looks really well made too! Thoughtful planning and execution by a newcomer to the PC case market, I dig it! Thanks for the video, Paul.
I have an O11 XL, and this is the first case that makes me think about changing it! Great case, especially considering HAVN is a new company. New players have balls, HAVN and HYTE.
He's very forthright about it, so I agree, totally legit way to support the channel. I only beef with youtubers who try to hide the sponsorship and/or the negatives.
The white version with it's rounded edges all over, gives me serious futuristic space station vibes. Perfect for sci-fi themed build with some added decals or something.
Oooh, that looks nice! I like the contrasting colors on the case. Looks like a lot of thought went in to the access ports and routing. I hope it performs as well as it looks.
Thanks HAVN for bringing us something new even if it is a Fish tank design which I like anyway but still different. I will be watching for your products 👍
Man, it's been ages since I've watched a build video. After building my first pc, which I still use, I just haven't had the need to watch many build videos. Although the boring tech improvements haven't helped either in piquing my curiosity. This new case certainly has caught my attention this time around.
tilted bottom intake is genius because it goes around gpu but still allows the gpu to suck in some of it, and then the rest goes up and through the rest of the case out the top for a fireplace configuration.
Man I'm liking the black version of the case. All of the other reviews I've watched showcased the white versions of the case. This version looks much better.
This is a REALLY nice case! a tad bit pricy but you can tell the effort is there with the small details in the sticker routing suggestions and even the manual which looks to be LIGHTYEARS better then other MFG... Good Job HAVN 👍😁
Excellent peek into building in this new case design. Someone with the company has some serious attention to details for the build process and interesting ideas how to improve on functionality. A design with actual effort put into cable management assistance rather than it being an afterthought is a surprise. The only thing I felt was missing was a look at the finished cable management in the second chamber to see if the space was sufficient and everything closes as expected. A standard GPU mount with flat bottom infinity fans pulling air in might be an option for my own next build. Interesting to see what other options they company comes up with for their case lineup.
When you mentioned the price and after only a quick look at the case I almost spat my coffee. But on seeing the unboxing and manual I started to understand. By the end my neck was sore from nodding. Not really my style of case but I love the engineering and UX.
This is a cool looking case which makes some real effort to be high quality and do something interesting with airflow. Watched the GN review of the case, too, which they quite liked despite it not being top of the stack for cooling. Quite impressive build quality and qol items. :)
Awesome video! Awesome case! 2 things: (1) I don't think this case is for me. Money is not the problem here, I just don't bother getting too fancy as long as everything runs cool. (2) Did you happen to double check your cpu mount? Doesn't matter if the mount went text book perfect. Sometimes the gremlins get fuckey and leave bubbles in the paste and before you know it they're grilling snausages on the ALU.
Between this build process/showcase and GN's in depth review I'd feel pretty confident buying one of these. The white case with just a regular mount would be great for something I've got in mind. Even better though if they released a compact version. Without fans on the front you've still got tonnes of space for the ridiculous GPUs these days.
Glad someone I follow finally got to look at this case as I've been getting bombarded in Facebook about it. I like it. I would like to see a 420mm rad top and bottom set up. Would your CPU have gotten better temps if the side was also intake, or would that have been too much? Will long power supplies like the Seasonic 1600W fit?
I'm almost 7 minutes into the video and I'm already sold (the part showing the air deflector inside the case). This case is obviously well thought out. Honestly, Paul, your "sponsored video" disclosure at the beginning was unnecessary. Your integrity is far from being in question, I'm pretty sure that's why most of us watch your videos and value your recommendations.
Now, at the end of the video, my opinion got stronger toward the case and even the price is well justified. This is my next case and I just happen to have an itch for a new one, but haven't been able to find one that made me say, "I gotta have that", until now. Great video!
You should have correlate temp and clock speed to better tell the story for the CPU. Also the bottom fan needed to be rotated as well Nice build overall
Interesting. I like the name alone to have a meme-fest of HAVN and Have not. Practically writes itself. I definitely like the design though, and would love to see something similar in a full tower size.
I think you should consider trying out fans that are reversed. I had the same problem with my NZXT case and I ended up buying the reversed fans to fix both the visual and airflow configuration.
Good looking case. Not crazy different then most dual chamber but just enough that it makes the list to consider. Is the brand really supposed to be pronounced spelled out H - A - V - N or can you just say haven (as in a place of safety)?
The fan on the bottom is meant to be intake but you had it as exhaust in all the clips, so would be interested in seeing what the temps would be with it set as an intake.
It looks good with some nice features. Not interested in the vertical GPU mount. As usual convert the $ price to £GBP (the same figures) so it is 30% more expensive in the UK, thus £200 for the base model which is just too much for me. No reset button? The side removal of bottom dust filter would be a problem as my monitor is on the right of my case.
I think at this pricepoint they should be including the 3 reverse blade fans for the bottom with the case. Other than that, looks like a pretty sick case. It looks like the bottom "GPU Glass" is kinda pointless though eh?
Question about the bottom exhaust fan - if the 3 fans are being used as intakes, isn't that fan just spewing out the fresh air out of the case? even with the little deflector thing?
This has to be one of the most genuinely original and interesting cases I've seen in a _long_ time. It's making me want to build in it.
Same. It's a bit bigger than I would typically build in but I like the vGPU option. The cost is a bit much for that version though.
Totally agree.

@@Mapantz1 agreed.
$275 for a case though...
This looks like they took an NZXT H7 Flow (2024) and modified a few bits.

Hats off to them for the delightful way to install your HDD storage - I love that it fits in with the design and flow of the internal wall.
I was HAVN a good time watching this video.
I see what you did there 😂

This case is slick! Love the cable grommet system. Clever
Really unique case and it actually looks really well made too! Thoughtful planning and execution by a newcomer to the PC case market, I dig it! Thanks for the video, Paul.
I have an O11 XL, and this is the first case that makes me think about changing it!
Great case, especially considering HAVN is a new company.
New players have balls, HAVN and HYTE.
011 XL is still the better case especially if you LOVE hot-swappable storage.
@@anthonyp9591 and 4 usb 3.0 instead of 2. These two things. But man this 420 is beautiful. Now I watch my XL and it feels kinda boring!
Jay could have a lot of fun building in that case. It's just screaming for an open loop build.
19:48 Paul very politely demonstrates that the glass airflow guide piece actually RAISES GPU temps ~3°C
GamersNexus found the same result, it's better without the additional glass.
It does, but imagine edge lighting the bottom so the edges all glowed. Might be worth a couple degrees.
Did they switch the bottom rear to intake like recommended?
I’m excited to see this case company grow. Hoping they get enough success to build a variety of cases
I like this case when it was revealed. I am thinking about moving my current build into the case.
Wow...I really want this case, the thought they have put into it is such a nice change!
I don't mind sponsored honest review if it helps the channel
He's very forthright about it, so I agree, totally legit way to support the channel. I only beef with youtubers who try to hide the sponsorship and/or the negatives.
IMO no sponsored content can be a review (and Paul seems to agree...)
Nice presentation. Appreciate your candid views
Hi Paul, If there is one feature about the case I like, it would be the bottom-mounted lift handles.
The white version with it's rounded edges all over, gives me serious futuristic space station vibes. Perfect for sci-fi themed build with some added decals or something.
Nice build, especially good on air flow & cable management.
I would try this out for my next build.
Oooh, that looks nice! I like the contrasting colors on the case. Looks like a lot of thought went in to the access ports and routing. I hope it performs as well as it looks.

This has to be the best case periord! This thing is Awesome! my next build is definitely this one!
Something new!! I really like it!
Ty Paul!
Great video as usual! I can see that HAVN cases are doing the rounds in the tech circuit. But certainly an interesting case!
the reviewers are HAVN a good time reviewing the case.
Very well thought out case, I would definitely give it a shot on my next build.
Man I'm liking the black version of the case. All of the other reviews I've watched showcased the white versions of the case. This version looks much better.
It is truly a beautiful case.
I really like this case, awesome video!
Looks like a very well through case, thanks for the great review 👍 😀 🙂
It's a very nice case with a lot of thought behind it, quite expensive here in the UK but definitely one to consider for my next build.
I like this case a lot
Sure looks like a fun case to build in.👍

I'm planning on building a new system next year. Think I just found my case. Thanks!
I bought the Thermaltake Ceres 500 on the strength of the video you made about it, Paul... LOVE it.
I like the be quite light base case, it's awesome.
When you mentioned the price and after only a quick look at the case I almost spat my coffee. But on seeing the unboxing and manual I started to understand. By the end my neck was sore from nodding. Not really my style of case but I love the engineering and UX.
The 90 degree glass curve is cool!
I like it and this is someone who only uses Lian Li cases
They are enormous! Give me a nice mATX case any day. TYVM.
wow that start made me check I wasnt running at double speed :D
Nice and a company to watch in the future
This is very interesting case, I would use even same be quiet fans from my current case.
This is a cool looking case which makes some real effort to be high quality and do something interesting with airflow. Watched the GN review of the case, too, which they quite liked despite it not being top of the stack for cooling. Quite impressive build quality and qol items. :)
Very cool case!
Beautiful.
This case is nice!!! The workmanship is top notch. I would get the 200$ one. Too bad i just got the antec C5 like two months ago.
Awesome video! Awesome case!

I actually like the thinner light ring on the backside of the LightWings better than the front. But yes the fan cage is much bulkier.
seems a good vacum cleaner for the floor :)

Thank You🐬🤝
Ok you did mentioned the airflow difference. Mistake forgiven ❤
A semi silvered finish on the bottom glass plate would make a great reflective surface for the rgb off the fans.
Welp I just found my next case. I like my corsair 5000d airflow at the moment so I'll give that another few years definitely
Nice looking case
Seems like a very interesting case. I wonder how an air cooled set up would look and work. Those temps seemed terrible.
I like this case I want one

For the amount of money you are paying and what you get, it’s the most worthy purchase I’d make on a build.
18:02 if only Linus would have an extension for his screwdriver...
Really nice looking case. If I wanted a new build would consider in place of Lian Li O11D Evo.
The case seems huge! Is it?
I will look forward to when the "fish tank" style dies away lol. Cause, other than that, the case looks great.
Chunkey Boy!!
The fan on the bottom is meant to be intake but you had it as exhaust in all the clips, so would be interested in seeing what the temps would be with it set as an intake.
I need a PC case that can keep up with my Weed habit.
That case looks way to well thought out to be a "new" company, they got experience. I would buy if i needed a case.
Blaze it 🔥🔥🔥
The good news is, I can rent out the rest of the case to recoup my purchase cost after I install my mini itx sff gear.😀
Nice!!!
I am HAVN a tough time with those prices
Lol, nice
It looks good with some nice features. Not interested in the vertical GPU mount.

It looks like a quality case, but those case prices are a bit much. I thought you were going to say they cost like $120-$140.
GN also found the glass shield doesn’t help but rather makes it worse for GPU temperatures
Could you do a thermal test with these cases?
Giving the NZXT design team a run for their money it seems!
If they release a uATX version then im sold
420😉 NICE
I found my people 😎🍃
I want to see what's happening with your backyard Paul.
Question about the bottom exhaust fan - if the 3 fans are being used as intakes, isn't that fan just spewing out the fresh air out of the case? even with the little deflector thing?
Neat case, but ditch that useless vertical GPU mount, bent glass and angled fan bracket, and I'll bet you get some decent temps.
HAVN, US only the site says.
Legit case for gamers, if you say so ;)
Need this to be available in canada
Funny rip on Linus', ahem, short shaft.
Steve is going to lose his mind over this case.
