1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,640 when Haven reached out to sponsor this video they had my curiosity but when 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:10,599 they told me it was to check out their new premium midtower case the hs420 they 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:16,720 had my attention oh my God cuz this thing is sick oh my God it's so heavy 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:21,840 before we take a look at the case let's see what comes in the Box we've got our 5 00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:26,000 hs420 user guide we've got what looks to be an accessory box says start here so I 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,039 probably should have started there starting there now accessory kit yes 7 00:00:28,119 --> 00:00:33,000 very good what else we got we got some Drive sleds actually I'm not sure what 8 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:40,399 this is we've got a bunch of zip ties and 9 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:43,320 screws velcro strap we have some little 10 00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:49,440 these cable holders little cable Combs very nice and then oh wow they gave us 11 00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:51,760 gloves I've unboxed a lot of cases uh 12 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:56,199 both at work and at home and I have never once seen a pair of gloves 13 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,039 included these guys they really want you to be safe while you're building I'm not 14 00:00:57,879 --> 00:01:02,600 going to say they're like the nicest gloves I've ever put on on but uh you 15 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,320 know I'm sure they do whatever they're supposed to do we've got this cool 16 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:10,439 little thank you card from The Haven team they're a new company that are made 17 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,680 up of members from other case 18 00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:18,520 manufacturers that you've probably heard of like fractal NZXT Cooler Master and 19 00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:19,759 you know it's their first product we're 20 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:27,320 not sure how it's going to go but it looks frankly pretty good they've got this 21 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,360 beautiful single pane curved glass piece 22 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:33,960 right here so that you're not going to get anything in the way of looking looking at your beautiful build as you 23 00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:38,799 put it into your case they call it their uni sheet heat form panoramic glass and 24 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:43,399 it's supposed to be flatter and got a tighter curve radius on here I don't 25 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:46,360 know how necessary it was but it's cool now you might be thinking to yourself 26 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,920 that's not a mesh front I want a mesh front panel for airf flow well you've 27 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:55,200 got a bunch of that down here this is all opened up for their nice bottom 28 00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:02,000 intake cuz as you can see we've got three big 140 mm fan mounts down here 29 00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:03,439 normally flat but we've got the vgpu kit 30 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000 version which is a bit more expensive we'll talk about price later but that's 31 00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:13,480 angled up to better kind of push the air up so that you can get it into your vertically mounted GPU there is a nice 32 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:18,040 oh oh that's actually really easy to take out there's a really nice filter 33 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:22,200 here um but I don't understand why they can't add another small grate just on 34 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,599 the bottom I would kind of like that personally so that it doesn't even get 35 00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:30,440 into here but you know what I think it's going to do just fine in terms of air 36 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:35,239 flow at least because the top is also very ventilated it's also got a ton of 37 00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:39,080 ventilation on the back side panel as well 38 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,319 as another big hole along the bottom in 39 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:45,480 the front as for the top bio it's got a 40 00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:50,640 really satisfying power button click as well as two USB type A ports 41 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,519 one type c port and an audio jack and the best part is you see this strap 42 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,319 that's not for carrying it it's way too heavy for that it's to just lift the 43 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:02,159 whole top off like this so it's super easy to work in and then we can still 44 00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:06,640 take take both side panels off now it ships with two screws installed onto 45 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:13,200 either panel but if we take those off it should 46 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:17,040 be held in place magnetically oh is there one more 47 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:21,319 screw and once you got all the screws out it's actually held in place pretty 48 00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:26,480 nicely with some magnets so if you do want easy access 49 00:03:24,519 --> 00:03:30,040 but still you know kind of held together just don't put those screws back in when 50 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:34,640 you're reassembling it it should be okay okay yeah it just lifts up that was easy 51 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:38,480 one thing I actually didn't notice until just now is it's got this really nice 52 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,519 Haven logo on the back here it's beautiful is there a front logo wow 53 00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:47,480 actually there's like no front logo grip here when removing panel okay so they 54 00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:51,959 give you some little instructions for that warning watch your hands and 55 00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:56,040 fingers that's what the gloves are for Handle With Care okay so this one will 56 00:03:54,079 --> 00:04:00,640 come off the back no problem Oh I used where the circles are 57 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,799 and it was no problem so look we're just going to lift and 58 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,280 pull how oh okay I'll admit I'm 59 00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:14,799 terrified of breaking this um there's something about curved glass that just 60 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,919 makes me think it's even more fragile than your standard panel but like now 61 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:23,479 that I've got pretty much everything off this is going to be so incredibly easy 62 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:27,080 to build in like probably one of the easiest cases I've ever built in my 63 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,440 entire life and it looks like if you don't want even more obstructions you 64 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:35,960 can take it off you can take this uh what looks to be a rad mounting or fan 65 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,320 mounting rack uh one minor complaint I 66 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,680 have oh no I don't even have that complaint because it's just all the sides are off I was going to be like 67 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,720 there's no screen on the fan but like there is it's just not on right now and 68 00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:51,400 then if you want to get even more stuff out of the way you just take out these two screws which are held in by these 69 00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:54,560 nice little rubber mounts which is good because this is going to vibrate cuz 70 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,400 it's probably for your radiator or fans then you pull it forward and just lift 71 00:04:56,039 --> 00:05:02,840 it out just like that even easier now I can really get my whole hand into this 72 00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:06,080 thing or this way or this way or this way or this way like you're just never 73 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,080 going to have a problem there's also more of them if you look at this rear 74 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:14,240 fan Mount here these are all set up with that same kind of vibration dampening 75 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:23,080 rubber this thing is also able to fit 1140 mm fans which is a lot of air flow 76 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:31,880 and if that's not enough air flow for you and you want some water cooling in here it can do three 420 mm RADS that's 77 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:35,800 one here one here if you're not using the vertical Mount cuz this is normally 78 00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:40,080 flat this is an extra that we've got and then one on what I'm guessing is the 79 00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:46,600 side back here after I get rid of this uh vgpu kit one moment please we've got 80 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,880 a bunch of handily labeled storage Bays back here but if you take a look on 81 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,560 their website can confirm that this is supposed to be where the third mounting 82 00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:57,080 position for a 420 mm rad goes like I know this is sponsored but I got to 83 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,160 appreciate that these are all marked like Storage storage and there's more 84 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,800 labels that's not the only one recommended for top fan cables they've 85 00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:09,120 got little recommendations for how to route your cables on the back here 86 00:06:06,919 --> 00:06:14,639 recommended for 4x4 pin cables for your EPS connectors for your CPU recommended 87 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:18,560 for the 24 pin like it's just got everything you could like want if you've 88 00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:24,639 never built a computer before and you don't know where to Route all these cables they call it their simply cable 89 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:30,000 routing system and it should offer you a pretty you know discreet and tidy cable 90 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:33,880 management system um I like it it's got velcro straps basically everywhere you 91 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:37,840 could want it's got a bunch of huge cable channels that are all clearly 92 00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:43,039 labeled like I said uh then you've also got these like I have never seen rubber 93 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,960 grommets done like this before and it also really explains um that box of 94 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:51,120 cable Combs that I found earlier you put them on here and then you run your 95 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,759 cables through here and then you run the Combs down through here so you can kind 96 00:06:52,479 --> 00:06:58,039 of really separate everything and keep it nice and clean and tidy the problem 97 00:06:55,879 --> 00:07:02,160 with those big open grommets that I genuinely love because I think it's 98 00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:05,440 better than having an empty hole is uh they get kind of bunched up and you 99 00:07:03,479 --> 00:07:08,720 can't really control the cables within the grommets whereas this it should be 100 00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:12,759 easy enough to just like put a cable there put a cable comb put another cable 101 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,560 up there put another cable comb just to make sure nothing ever gets moved around 102 00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:20,039 so your cables are always looking pristine they're right where you want 103 00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:23,840 them to be who can hate that this thing also has a bunch of fan hubs if you 104 00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:32,680 haven't noticed I mean by a bunch I mean two but like we've got one here which 105 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:35,120 has 1 2 3 4 5 five six fans that's 106 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:39,199 pretty good and then there was yeah right down here then we've got another 107 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:44,120 one down here for even more fans 1 2 3 4 5 six so even though this thing only 108 00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:45,840 holds 11 fans they've got 12 headers 109 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,680 that's extra fans just throw them in there this thing is super customizable I 110 00:07:47,919 --> 00:07:54,720 love it we're going to take the storage out so that you can fit whatever you 111 00:07:51,800 --> 00:08:02,039 want maybe a 420 mm Rad or even a vase amount I really like 112 00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:07,479 this case I am so sold on this even just this like Drive sled caddy thing this 113 00:08:04,599 --> 00:08:12,360 is this is great I've never needed to move eight drives at once before but if 114 00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:17,159 I had to now I can that thing we had earlier is a vase amount turns out and 115 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,080 it can go kind of like this oh kind of 116 00:08:17,159 --> 00:08:23,520 like this so that you can just mount a screen back here that's sick I can do 117 00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:29,680 whatever I want all right now that we've got this sucker taken apart it's time to 118 00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:32,159 put a computer in it one moment please 119 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:36,839 we're done well mostly the cable management while the system in the case 120 00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:39,440 is actually great managing this many 121 00:08:36,839 --> 00:08:43,360 fans and this much stuff is just going to take you quite a while I'm sure it 122 00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:46,880 looks beautiful when it's actually properly cable managed but if you don't 123 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:51,480 want a cable manage because you're lazy or like me you just don't have the time 124 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:56,040 for it this was pretty easy to stuff everything in and just shut the case and 125 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,640 instead of using the magnets I screwed it down and look it's closed it's 126 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:04,120 running we're good to go another another thing the rubber grommets while I do 127 00:09:02,079 --> 00:09:08,040 love the look of it and I love the idea of like actually organizing and managing 128 00:09:06,839 --> 00:09:12,519 everything perfectly without planning you're going 129 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:16,399 to end up with a lot of instances where you're like I think I want it in the 130 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,920 second slot and down here and then you're going to do your cable runs and 131 00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:22,640 realize oh no it doesn't work there I've got to move it over a slot and then that 132 00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:25,760 requires instead of just kind of with the big open gromets it's really easy to 133 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:32,640 just move stuff around don't get me wrong it looks amazing but that takes some time the 134 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:39,320 sound dampening screws for the case fans it was a little Annoying if you're using 135 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:41,760 140 fans to actually get the plates off 136 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:45,560 and then screw everything in without issue for instance um because it's a 137 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,360 plastic screw going into rub rubber grommet I broke one of them I just 138 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:55,040 screwed it down a little too much I thought I had some more room and no I was cracking the plastic it was already 139 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:59,440 seated uh so don't be like me all the rest of them went in fine no more broke 140 00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:03,200 but definitely broke the first one the vertical mount looks great it really 141 00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:09,399 does but without some proper planning you might run into issues where you've got to take it out and adjust something 142 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,360 for example I didn't do the bottom fan 143 00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:14,399 and you've got to actually take this bracket off if you want to put a 140 in 144 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,200 and you can't reach that unless you're going through the vertical GPU Mount 145 00:10:17,959 --> 00:10:24,279 that being said if you don't get the vertical GPU Mount it's going to be a 146 00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:29,800 pretty reasonable price at $200 it's also going to come with 147 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:34,000 probably one of the most stylish uh GPU anti- sag brackets I've ever seen it 148 00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:38,440 actually looks pretty good and I kind of wanted to do that version today but we 149 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:42,800 got the vertical one which retails for $270 it's on the pricey side I'm not 150 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,800 going to deny that but the fact that it comes with a PCIe Gen 5 Riser it comes 151 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:54,200 with the mounting hardware for the vertical Mount it's got this really cool 152 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,560 curved glass the power supply is in its 153 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:59,279 own like second chamber so there's no 154 00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:02,279 air being shared between the power Supply intake and like the GPU is just 155 00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:09,200 getting everything from in here on the bottom feeding up to here into the back like it's it's good but out of time and 156 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:13,959 I need help reys Rees plof was too lazy to uh do his own 157 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:18,399 Cable Management so they sent me in I'm reys nice to meet you um let me show you 158 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:22,560 the back here these channels here are very handy they just kind of fit in the 159 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:26,959 channels and it was very nice these um passrs are quite nice they normally with 160 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:31,200 like The Grommet style you only have one entry one exit so all the core is kind 161 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:34,440 of pile up at the bottom in one corner but with these as you can see you can 162 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:38,519 kind of spread them out make them all nice and I think just look so much 163 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:42,800 better compared to like other full-size cases that I've built in the past I feel 164 00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:46,760 like this it just it's so much better for cable organization if I was to give 165 00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:51,160 this case of rating I'd probably give it like a N9 out of 10 it's pretty good um 166 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:56,399 I'm not usually a full-size case person I prefer ITX smaller cases but if I was 167 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,320 going to go full size this would definitely be a contender all right 168 00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:03,399 that's it that's it for
