Havn HS 360 review
The Havn HS 360 is a smaller, easier-to-build successor to the HS 420, retaining its distinctive appearance and strong cable management. The reviewer found it produced attractive builds and praised improvements that address some builder frustrations, though its high cost and lack of included fans make it less appealing for budget-conscious buyers.
The case comes in standard and vertical GPU mounting versions, in black or white; the VGPU model costs $80 more and adds airflow features intended to reduce heat recirculation. Both versions support back-connect motherboards and make rear fan access easier. Unlike the HS 420, the HS 360 only supports 120 mm fans, so buyers need to budget for their own.
In short
- Smaller, easier to build in, and visually striking.
- VGPU version costs $80 more and adds airflow features.
- No fans are included, and only 120 mm fans fit.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
The HS 360 offers a smaller, easier-to-build design while preserving the distinctive look and cable management that made its predecessor appealing. Improvements such as back-connect motherboard support and easier rear fan access may make for a cleaner, less frustrating build, and the VGPU option adds airflow features for those who want vertical graphics-card mounting.
The case against
Its high price and lack of included fans increase the total cost, which may make it poor value for buyers on a budget. The shift to 120 mm fans only also limits builders who prefer other fan sizes, while the VGPU version’s $80 premium may be hard to justify for those who do not need its mounting and airflow features.
Explained simply
The Havn HS 360 is a computer case, the enclosure that holds a PC’s components and helps manage airflow and cables. It follows the larger HS 420 and keeps a similar distinctive look, while being smaller and designed to be easier to build in.
It comes in standard and vertical graphics card mounting versions, with black or white finishes. Both versions support back-connect motherboards, which place some cables on the rear of the board, and the vertical GPU model costs more.
The case supports 120 mm fans but does not include any, so buyers need to purchase them separately. Its price and the extra cost of the vertical GPU version may matter to people comparing it with less expensive cases.
