00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.640
when Haven reached out to sponsor this video they had my curiosity but when

00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:10.599
they told me it was to check out their new premium midtower case the hs420 they

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

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

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

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:30.039
probably should have started there starting there now accessory kit yes

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

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:40.399
this is we've got a bunch of zip ties and

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:43.320
screws velcro strap we have some little

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:49.440
these cable holders little cable Combs very nice and then oh wow they gave us

00:00:46.199 --> 00:00:51.760
gloves I've unboxed a lot of cases uh

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:56.199
both at work and at home and I have never once seen a pair of gloves

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

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

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

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:10.439
little thank you card from The Haven team they're a new company that are made

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:11.680
up of members from other case

00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:18.520
manufacturers that you've probably heard of like fractal NZXT Cooler Master and

00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:19.759
you know it's their first product we're

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

00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.360
beautiful single pane curved glass piece

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

00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:38.799
put it into your case they call it their uni sheet heat form panoramic glass and

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

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:46.360
know how necessary it was but it's cool now you might be thinking to yourself

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

00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:55.200
got a bunch of that down here this is all opened up for their nice bottom

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

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.439
normally flat but we've got the vgpu kit

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:07.000
version which is a bit more expensive we'll talk about price later but that's

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

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:18.040
oh oh that's actually really easy to take out there's a really nice filter

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

00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:25.599
the bottom I would kind of like that personally so that it doesn't even get

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

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

00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:39.080
ventilation on the back side panel as well

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.319
as another big hole along the bottom in

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.480
the front as for the top bio it's got a

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:50.640
really satisfying power button click as well as two USB type A ports

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

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

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

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:06.640
take take both side panels off now it ships with two screws installed onto

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:13.200
either panel but if we take those off it should

00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:17.040
be held in place magnetically oh is there one more

00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:21.319
screw and once you got all the screws out it's actually held in place pretty

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:26.480
nicely with some magnets so if you do want easy access

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

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

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

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:43.519
Haven logo on the back here it's beautiful is there a front logo wow

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:47.480
actually there's like no front logo grip here when removing panel okay so they

00:03:45.959 --> 00:03:51.959
give you some little instructions for that warning watch your hands and

00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:56.040
fingers that's what the gloves are for Handle With Care okay so this one will

00:03:54.079 --> 00:04:00.640
come off the back no problem Oh I used where the circles are

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:04.799
and it was no problem so look we're just going to lift and

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:11.280
pull how oh okay I'll admit I'm

00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:14.799
terrified of breaking this um there's something about curved glass that just

00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:19.919
makes me think it's even more fragile than your standard panel but like now

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:23.479
that I've got pretty much everything off this is going to be so incredibly easy

00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:27.080
to build in like probably one of the easiest cases I've ever built in my

00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:30.440
entire life and it looks like if you don't want even more obstructions you

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

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:37.320
mounting rack uh one minor complaint I

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

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

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

00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:54.560
nice little rubber mounts which is good because this is going to vibrate cuz

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:58.400
it's probably for your radiator or fans then you pull it forward and just lift

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

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

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

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:14.240
fan Mount here these are all set up with that same kind of vibration dampening

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

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

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:35.800
one here one here if you're not using the vertical Mount cuz this is normally

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

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

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:49.880
a bunch of handily labeled storage Bays back here but if you take a look on

00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.560
their website can confirm that this is supposed to be where the third mounting

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

00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:01.160
appreciate that these are all marked like Storage storage and there's more

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:04.800
labels that's not the only one recommended for top fan cables they've

00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:09.120
got little recommendations for how to route your cables on the back here

00:06:06.919 --> 00:06:14.639
recommended for 4x4 pin cables for your EPS connectors for your CPU recommended

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

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

00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:30.000
routing system and it should offer you a pretty you know discreet and tidy cable

00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:33.880
management system um I like it it's got velcro straps basically everywhere you

00:06:31.960 --> 00:06:37.840
could want it's got a bunch of huge cable channels that are all clearly

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

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:47.960
grommets done like this before and it also really explains um that box of

00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:51.120
cable Combs that I found earlier you put them on here and then you run your

00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:53.759
cables through here and then you run the Combs down through here so you can kind

00:06:52.479 --> 00:06:58.039
of really separate everything and keep it nice and clean and tidy the problem

00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:02.160
with those big open grommets that I genuinely love because I think it's

00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:05.440
better than having an empty hole is uh they get kind of bunched up and you

00:07:03.479 --> 00:07:08.720
can't really control the cables within the grommets whereas this it should be

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:12.759
easy enough to just like put a cable there put a cable comb put another cable

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:16.560
up there put another cable comb just to make sure nothing ever gets moved around

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:20.039
so your cables are always looking pristine they're right where you want

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

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

00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:35.120
has 1 2 3 4 5 five six fans that's

00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:39.199
pretty good and then there was yeah right down here then we've got another

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

00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:45.840
holds 11 fans they've got 12 headers

00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:49.680
that's extra fans just throw them in there this thing is super customizable I

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

00:07:51.800 --> 00:08:02.039
want maybe a 420 mm Rad or even a vase amount I really like

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

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

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

00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:19.080
it can go kind of like this oh kind of

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

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

00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:32.159
put a computer in it one moment please

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:36.839
we're done well mostly the cable management while the system in the case

00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:39.440
is actually great managing this many

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

00:08:41.839 --> 00:08:46.880
looks beautiful when it's actually properly cable managed but if you don't

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

00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:56.040
for it this was pretty easy to stuff everything in and just shut the case and

00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:59.640
instead of using the magnets I screwed it down and look it's closed it's

00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:04.120
running we're good to go another another thing the rubber grommets while I do

00:09:02.079 --> 00:09:08.040
love the look of it and I love the idea of like actually organizing and managing

00:09:06.839 --> 00:09:12.519
everything perfectly without planning you're going

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

00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:18.920
second slot and down here and then you're going to do your cable runs and

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

00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:25.760
requires instead of just kind of with the big open gromets it's really easy to

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

00:09:29.800 --> 00:09:39.320
sound dampening screws for the case fans it was a little Annoying if you're using

00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:41.760
140 fans to actually get the plates off

00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:45.560
and then screw everything in without issue for instance um because it's a

00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:49.360
plastic screw going into rub rubber grommet I broke one of them I just

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

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

00:09:57.560 --> 00:10:03.200
but definitely broke the first one the vertical mount looks great it really

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

00:10:06.040 --> 00:10:11.360
for example I didn't do the bottom fan

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

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:20.200
and you can't reach that unless you're going through the vertical GPU Mount

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

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:29.800
pretty reasonable price at $200 it's also going to come with

00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:34.000
probably one of the most stylish uh GPU anti- sag brackets I've ever seen it

00:10:31.839 --> 00:10:38.440
actually looks pretty good and I kind of wanted to do that version today but we

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

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

00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:54.200
with the mounting hardware for the vertical Mount it's got this really cool

00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:57.560
curved glass the power supply is in its

00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:59.279
own like second chamber so there's no

00:10:57.560 --> 00:11:02.279
air being shared between the power Supply intake and like the GPU is just

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

00:11:06.680 --> 00:11:13.959
I need help reys Rees plof was too lazy to uh do his own

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

00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:22.560
the back here these channels here are very handy they just kind of fit in the

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:26.959
channels and it was very nice these um passrs are quite nice they normally with

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

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

00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:38.519
kind of spread them out make them all nice and I think just look so much

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

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

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

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

00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:59.320
going to go full size this would definitely be a contender all right

00:11:57.839 --> 00:12:03.399
that's it that's it for my thoughts uh back that lazy

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:07.760
blof thanks again Haven for sponsoring this video what do you guys think would

00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:12.200
you buy it the hs420 you want to take the time to Cable manage and make it

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:16.240
look super pretty with this sick curved glass let us know in the comments
