i run my 4090 vertically because i am afraid of flexing that PCIe connector and it allows me to check on my stupid 12v harness easily. i mean FFS, the one time i buy something nice its a fire hazard....of course
Thank you for taking your time to check us out! We're glad you liked the case, and absolutely adored the animations you did. We can't wait to show you what we're working on next!
I really love the look of this case, the white sci-fi looking with less sharp corner really make it look much cleaner than normal white case. thank you for delivering such a high quality products.
Would it be possible for you to use CFD simulations doing design. Maybe you could outsource it to some experts (like FS Dynamics) and use it both for design and marketing, since having one dedicated engineer a powerful server and the software license year round might be a little much 🤷♂. What do I know, I just like simulations 😂
Same, dropped out of the tech field around 20 years ago, last hand-built machine was 2016. Just regaining an interest in hardware again, and man it's changed a lot in 8 years, finding @GamerNexus has been invaluable in clawing my way back up to speed, to my mind the best benchmarking and reviews on here.
A very cool case. Attention to detail is amazing. Placing supports in fan deadzones, dedicated cable stuff area's, the bend in the sidepanel and the panel catch system, just very cool. Sadly I'll never be in the market for a mid-tower or full-tower, but I hope it'll be a valid option for many. This type of engineering needs to be supported.
Now that's the type of innovation I like to see, instead of more random angles and more "innovative" ways to obstruct intake fans on an "airflow" case Edit: One thing I'd love to see in these tests, is to do a "best possible setup" test. You've run 8 different tests, yet none were with both bottom and side intake (with top and back exhaust), which i found surprising, as that's where I'd imagine the seperation for the gpu would really help, and also (since it's aimed at enthusiasts) is what I'd imagine the most common setup would be. Of course that means it's not comparable to a flux pro with 6 fans, but as a consumer, I woudn't mind the extra $ for 10 fans compared to 6 fans on a 200$ case, and that's the layout I'd be most likely to choose.
I'd love to see a full fan config tested in the followup. I totally get why comparison is important for 100$ cases and that all reviews should have the same structure, but testing these high end cases at their full potential would be awesome.
Looks super cool, now I'm just waiting for the point in the video where Steve says "So it costs $400" lol EDIT: It's $200 for the boring one, $270 for the interesting one.
Even compared with an established brand, this case still stands. Who thought that a roller-locked mechanism was actually used beyond furniture and executed well in this PC case?
These animations look really cool. I have noticed them some time ago and I love them. GN productions are really professional and I love to see this channel grow. On the other note, I was looking for a new case for my system as I got bored with the one I have, this may be just the case for me.
Beautiful animation. I also love that you seem to have solved the problem of turbulence and that the empty front side of the case refuses to participate in the whole process completely. Kudos HAVN - these are the laws of physics every case should provide!
I love seeing compaines trying new things, attempting to truly innovate in the case space. And even more, I love seeing designers give such attention to the details that make or break a case for ease of use. Big kudos to HAVN for this first offering!
This is the first "aquarium" (glass front panel) style case I've been interested in. More functional improvements than just aesthetics like the Hyte cases.
This case is so cool!! I'm not the biggest fan of vertical mount, I like to use my other PCIE slots, but the craftmanship put into it is beautiful. It's really well thought out, documented, and still really classy. I hope they make more cases in the future! And your testing was excellent, I enjoyed the options and variety of layouts. I can feel the excitement ya'll had from working on this case!
The innovative airflow, the small quality of life details, the optional side panel screws, great packing, an actually good manual... It's like they made the case just for GN!
6:31 Love that idea of having rubber like strips on the pass through for cables vs the rubber grommets. I always hated how the rubber grommets come off the pass through when passing MB or PCI cables. Packaging, an actual manual, overall innovation, the efforts made to present this case is outstanding!
I haven't built cases for a while, but I'm gonna start soon again as a side hobby & I love your deep dive reviews about everything. Thanks for making content and educating people.
I like the case for the versatility of different setups even if they don't all work out, there was actual thought put into them which is more than I can say about far too many cases.
The thing I like most is the double back exhaust especially. This is a really nice start for a new Case manufacturer. The price is kind of overwhelming however. Hope they can give the bigger companies a run for their money.
I really enjoyed this entire video which I totally watched… My favorite part was where you collaborated with Steve from HWUB to release your new line of STEVE fans. Super Thermally Effecient Vector-based Energy-mover Clever. I just hope you guys are sure to send those fans to neutral parties for review, but really proud of you guys man!
I like the move away from the old standardized fan setup for comparing case thermals. If two cases have comparable thermals with a sub-optimal fan setup but one of those cases scales much better than the other with the advent of additional fans I absolutely want to know that when making my purchase decisions. I appreciate you guys always self evaluating and making changes that you believe will bring the best possible information to your audience.
after years of watching your videos, your quality has increased so much that I finally decided to subscribe to your channel by the way: to improve the cooling performance, you can double the plastic ventilation duct with spacers and add a second layer... the "radiated " (infrared) waste heat then cannot seep through the cover if the lowest side-mounted fan pump its air into the gap as insulation, for this you would have to form an inlet that sends a large part of the sucked-in air in there
I think we're in a golden age for PC cases. I''ll never forget how underwhelming most cases were circa 2016. Glass boxes with air-starved fans were the norm. In 2024, the sheer number of case designs and airflow configurations is staggering. Frankly, it'd be tough making a decision because there's a lot of really good competition. Further, your case reviews are unquestionably the best right now. The effort in 3D animating all of these airflow configurations and their pros and cons is something nobody else is doing and really sets your already very good reviews apart. Love it.
This is really cool! I'm glad you took the time to go in depth with this one, it's interesting enough to be worth it. Big thumbs up on the "standardized in class" approach, the 3 fans were good for entry-level cases but become almost irrelevant with expensive cases like this. Also love the airflow animations you've been doing recently. I'm always amazed at how accurate the 3d models are! We are in a great period for cases once again, with many interesting new ideas and a lot of smaller brands bringing some heavy hitters.
Man I hate to make any suggestions/requests at this point given the already extremely high levels of work, attention to detail and methodology you guys do here but I'll toss it out anyway. 1. You guys always use an air cooler for the CPU. Given both the lowering cost of AIOs and the rising levels of CPU heat loads, it would be nice to see tests with 360MM AIO cooler configurations. It would probably shake up the charts quite a bit (likely for the Torrent especially), and it's something that at this point probably applies to a growing majority of the audience. 2. Instead of (or in addition to) the "standardised fan test" having a specific set of fans that replace stock fans in the case, include a "fully loaded" configuration. This would be adding fans to everywhere a case has room for them (other than AIO placement spot), _without_ replacing already included stock fans (though allowing for shifting placement of them as needed for optimal AIO location). It's personally what I do, and I think a lot of people do as well when they at least have spare fans already around they can add to their case. Either way though, you guys are the gold standard for effort/attention to detail on reviews, and your effort does not go unnoticed or appreciated.
There are many interesting options on the market. You can make whatever you wish. However, completing my PC last year was so expensive I can't imagine changing anything now or shortly.
I really wanted those angled fans to make a difference. I love seeing design that's aesthetically pleasing whilst ALSO being efficient/clever with cooling. I hope they do more!
Love the amount of fan configurations covered in this review! In the test configurations section, it would be amazing if a graphic from the airflow animation displayed the fan configuration being currently spoken about for clarity
Great video and great to see real innovations build to high quality product. Cant wait for the second one for this case, genuinely curious what can be squeezed out of it.
It's nice to see someone trying something new and succeeding to a degree, really getting sick of the endless copying the 011 by alot of companies, many of the decisions on this case are clever and well thought out, really looking forward to see what they do in future.
I still have a problem paying $200 to $300 for a pc case. Hardly even look at the case my components are in, would rather spend funds on cpu/gpu or good monitor that I stare at all day. Cool cases tho. Hope to see more offerings from this company in the future.
My reaction to the highly standardized setup, versus more customized setups with narrow peer-to-peer comparisons is something of a goldilocks: configure each case in the manner you would expect the typical buyer of that case to configure it, and include the cost of any non-included fans when doing the comparison. If it is a high end case that comes with no fans, buy a similar product tier fan, and use the number that you would expect to be used. Not necessarily a minimum, and not necessarily populating all the fan slots, unless that would be reasonably expected. If it is a budget case that comes with a few fans, then only use those fans. For example, with a Phanteks NV case, I would expect all the fan slots to be populated, and be populated with D30's. The case is meant to be a showpiece. How many people buy it without the intention to populate all the fan slots?
watching a 34 minutes video about a pc case is out of this world, But much respect and love to Stephen, This gentle man takes everything to the max level to make sure we all not taken advantage of. Such a great channel. It's great that someone is wiling to put that much effort in such content and it's admirable. thank you Gamers Nexus you are the best
This seems a big first step towards something interesting, though I don't know near enough about fluid dynamics for it to be much beyond a gut feeling, doesn't feel like it's there yet, but certainly promising. I am here for the build quality and QoL choices, though, I do love a wheeled side panel, and magnet closure for a pathological tinkerer is pretty appealing. Thanks for the in-depth coverage team!
I like the VGPU mount case! I like the glass bend on the case panels, and the glass shroud/air flow shield has RGB potential. 2 rear fans are a welcome addition!
I love the engineering-focused mindset and design philosophy that went into this case. A fan configuration that occurred to me when you brought up the VESA mount might actually resolve the GPU lower exhaust issue when using the standard V-GPU configuration with the redirection panel. Let's say someone installed a tablet or secondary screen to the right of the motherboard, or leaves the drive caddies in place, but leaves space for a 120mm or 140mm exhaust fan on the bottom. If the lower 'exhaust' fan on the left side was swapped to intake , it could help direct lower GPU exhaust air to the right and out the side of the case without too directly affecting the air pathways in the upper CPU cooler area.
Innovation!! Yes! and by goodness they're doing it all so right, i mean sure the special gimmick vgpu doodad didn't work out as one would have hoped but ignoring that, this is absolutely an a+ showing from them. So much attention to detail (though on that subject 29:30 is probably the slickest thing i've seen you do, my god) and shit, even if it doesn't perform as well as a traditional layout, the vgpu and angled fans look freaking cool. That counts for a lot to me, especially if the performance loss isn't super significant. This is absolutely what i was hoping to see outta Tryx, i really loved how that thing looked too. Very much looking forward to what both companies do next!
Not finished watching yet... but I once modded a case with the same design idea, only the GPU was horizontal, not vertical. I basically made a seperate compartment for my then HD7950 dual setup. It worked like a charm. Looking forward to the rest of the review. Back to you Steve...

Thanks for reviewing this case. For the life of me, I couldn't remember the name of it and I was trying to find it again yesterday crazily enough.
Can you guys test the Lian Li V3000 Plus. It's not the newest one, but still one of the best I would say.
Steves got Gumption xD Love you guys thanks for the hard work
Thank you for taking your time to check us out! We're glad you liked the case, and absolutely adored the animations you did. We can't wait to show you what we're working on next!
Looking good, this case is tempting... Can't wait to see what's next! Keep shaking things up!
I hope you’re all HAVN a good time over there 😅 this is definitely my next case, thanks for actually innovating unlike so many
Did u not test the glass deflector shroud ? It performed the worst with it on? Better without it. What’s the point?

This is the kind of review I'm looking for. 33 Minute case review with fully rendered case thermal diagrams is insane.
Havent built a pc in 6 years but always end up watching your videos, they are great!
That's awesome to hear! Hopefully they help next time you decide to!

This type of engineering needs to be supported.
A good attitude -- hopefully they make something in your normal case market and we can review it. Do you mostly build mATX? ITX?
@@GamersNexus Not who you asked but chiming in anyway for engagement. Mostly build ATX but recent built a micro ITX due to Desk space constraints.
Havn a wonderful time with this case review.
Well played.
Havn a good time (Hanv a good time)
Havn hs cake and eating it too.
10/10 pun.
Absolutely insane how much detail you've put into your modern case reviews!
Okay the pushing the table to eject the hard driver mounts was kinda slick Steve. Smooth
great animations again. you really killing it with those!
Yup, if they paid for advertising they wouldn't do that good a job.
Now that's the type of innovation I like to see, instead of more random angles and more "innovative" ways to obstruct intake fans on an "airflow" case
Edit: One thing I'd love to see in these tests, is to do a "best possible setup" test. You've run 8 different tests, yet none were with both bottom and side intake (with top and back exhaust), which i found surprising, as that's where I'd imagine the seperation for the gpu would really help, and also (since it's aimed at enthusiasts) is what I'd imagine the most common setup would be.
Of course that means it's not comparable to a flux pro with 6 fans, but as a consumer, I woudn't mind the extra $ for 10 fans compared to 6 fans on a 200$ case, and that's the layout I'd be most likely to choose.
he mentions a follow-up video will come, which may address this. As he also said, he did not do all possible options for now.
I'd love to see a full fan config tested in the followup. I totally get why comparison is important for 100$ cases and that all reviews should have the same structure, but testing these high end cases at their full potential would be awesome.
Thanks for testing all these diff configs, and doing custom animations, you guys go above and beyond.
Team that drew the schematics and built that case must love their job. Fantastic job my friends, I'm putting your company on my shortlist.
before seeing results, i gotta give em credit for taking the basic fish tank case and doing something different.
Certainly a neat new approach.
Looks super cool, now I'm just waiting for the point in the video where Steve says "So it costs $400" lol
EDIT: It's $200 for the boring one, $270 for the interesting one.
Nope.... 200+16 and 270+ 20....
omg idk how many takes it took for yall but the way y'all took out the hard drive enclosure at 29:30 was smooth as hell. great video as always!!!
"It appears Hyte has opened some doors for HAVN"
Steve: opens door
That was a incredible haha
First comment I've seen to notice it, hahaha
was about to say the same
I chuckled when he opened the door, glad i wasnt the only one who found it amusing 😁
I've seen hot n cold aisle concept within data centres. Interesting to see it within a case! The QoL and cable routing features are also very welcome.
This is a very impressive case all things considered, for a new brand.
Even compared with an established brand, this case still stands. Who thought that a roller-locked mechanism was actually used beyond furniture and executed well in this PC case?
Quite clever, finally someone breaks with tradition and thinks outside the box 😊
It's more that they are thinking very well _inside_ the box. 😁
@@zivzulander I see what you did there lol 😂
Hey give some props to the Tryx Luca case, they at least tried to break tradition, but ultimately ended up breaking their side panel 😂
These animations look really cool. I have noticed them some time ago and I love them. GN productions are really professional and I love to see this channel grow.
On the other note, I was looking for a new case for my system as I got bored with the one I have, this may be just the case for me.
Beautiful animation. I also love that you seem to have solved the problem of turbulence and that the empty front side of the case refuses to participate in the whole process completely. Kudos HAVN - these are the laws of physics every case should provide!
Steve is still on 3.5E. A man of culture
Came here to say this, #represent!
Fluid dynamics engineer here: the targeted optimized air flow only works when every single fan blade lights up in da different RGB color.
That idea of tilting the fans is actually genius, daaaamn
Wish it worked a little bit better, but it's really cool and there is absolutely something that can be done with that idea!
I almost want to see the CPU cooler tilted to face upwards with this configuration so that the fan and fins exhausts towards the top of the case
How? The fans dont cool the hot GPU air, it just throws it around the case for no damn reason.
The Phanteks NV cases also let you angle the bottom fans.
I like they worked around the biggest flaw though. The selling point is that class panel curve and they try to effectively splash airflow off of it.
"How many fans would you like in the case?" Yes, please.
very interesting case. nice to see something different, instead of everyone just copying the popular designs
I love seeing compaines trying new things, attempting to truly innovate in the case space. And even more, I love seeing designers give such attention to the details that make or break a case for ease of use. Big kudos to HAVN for this first offering!
29:30 smooth!
hahaha. I said to Andrew (filming), "was that smooth enough?"
The little proud smile visible after you catch it lmao
@@GamersNexusso smooth i would have been tempted to do a Fonzie, "ayyy" after that one 👍👍 (reference so dated I may be jumping the shark)
HAVN has some real STANDARDS! Great work with everything.

Okay. Now I need cooling guides for Computer cases shaped like D4/6/8/10/12/20s.
Got it. We'll immediately get on making some cases out of dice!
@@GamersNexus Excellent. You can combine D&D 3.5, obscure geometric shapes, and computer cases all in one video!
The innovative airflow, the small quality of life details, the optional side panel screws, great packing, an actually good manual... It's like they made the case just for GN!
I love that you show a lot of combinations with the corresponding animations, it must take a lot of time, but as a viewer I really appreciate it.
Happy Steve in the thumbnail is always a plus
Happy Steve creeps me out. Totally not used to it. [Insert "Hide the Pain Harold" meme here] 😅

In instructions and documentation alone, this is amazing. I haven’t even finished the intro to the unboxing and I’m kinda sold on it 8:39
I like the case for the versatility of different setups even if they don't all work out, there was actual thought put into them which is more than I can say about far too many cases.
This looks like a solidly built case - no sharp pointy thin metal edges or much plastics anywhere, looks like a pretty nice design overall - liked! :)
It's a beautiful looking case... gives me a modern caselabs vibe style case with build quality.
I dont get it, i'd just get the Phanteks NV7 or 9 instead of this. NV7 is cheaper too.
The thing I like most is the double back exhaust especially. This is a really nice start for a new Case manufacturer. The price is kind of overwhelming however. Hope they can give the bigger companies a run for their money.

Amazing 3d model animations on this one! Thank you for all your work for thorough and objective reviews!

Case looks crazy, especially the degree of angle of the bottom ones and dual fans top and bottom at the back
I really wanted those angled fans to make a difference. I love seeing design that's aesthetically pleasing whilst ALSO being efficient/clever with cooling. I hope they do more!
I'm specifically subscribed for the obscure geometric shape content. Top tier stuff.

This seems a big first step towards something interesting, though I don't know near enough about fluid dynamics for it to be much beyond a gut feeling, doesn't feel like it's there yet, but certainly promising. I am here for the build quality and QoL choices, though, I do love a wheeled side panel, and magnet closure for a pathological tinkerer is pretty appealing. Thanks for the in-depth coverage team!
Nice to see new design seems like a case that modders will adore.
This looks really nice, happy to see somebody try something new.
Love the design. New, fresh experience which may be improved and possibly becomes new way of doing things.
Love the aesthetics of the case hope to see more cases from HAVN!
Cases's Nexus...By the way I am hoping everyone's getting enough sleep in between CPU benchmarks that you're all doing in the back!
30:30 70 bucks is rly cheap for a pcie 5.0 riser only and the vertical stuff is cool, so kinda worth it
came for the case, subbed for the obscure geometric shapes
I like the VGPU mount case! I like the glass bend on the case panels, and the glass shroud/air flow shield has RGB potential. 2 rear fans are a welcome addition!
This is such a cool case. Yes, it's yet another fishtank, but it just looks and feels like they really wanted to do something new! Super cool ^-^
The mechanical design on this case is pretty incredible. Realistically, I don't need a new case, but this one has me reconsidering.
This is really bringing PC cases to another level...
Unique case with great engineering - this makes recommendations rather easy for ATX builds :)
It’s nice to see a new case in this way.
What they could've done is cut a hole under the GPU so you could turn the PSU around to wick away some of the GPU's exhaust in vertical mode.
That case deserve a FULL Noctua setup, Period ! , pretty sure Temps will be very different !
Build quality looks pretty good, you can kind of tell by the video even without actually touching it.
Not gonna lie, 3d airflow animation is really intriguing. Another awesome review 👍
Appreciate the 3D animation and of course Steve's "Polyhedric" brand of humor.
Love the animations. Really help to undestand the concept
Innovation in any part of PC building is great.
I love the engineering-focused mindset and design philosophy that went into this case. A fan configuration that occurred to me when you brought up the VESA mount might actually resolve the GPU lower exhaust issue when using the standard V-GPU configuration with the redirection panel.
Let's say someone installed a tablet or secondary screen to the right of the motherboard, or leaves the drive caddies in place, but leaves space for a 120mm or 140mm exhaust fan on the bottom. If the lower 'exhaust' fan on the left side was swapped to intake , it could help direct lower GPU exhaust air to the right and out the side of the case without too directly affecting the air pathways in the upper CPU cooler area.
Can't wait for Non-Euclidean Quantum PC built in 2077!
I'd happily take a small hit on thermals for a solid case in both build quality and experience.
Innovation!! Yes! and by goodness they're doing it all so right, i mean sure the special gimmick vgpu doodad didn't work out as one would have hoped but ignoring that, this is absolutely an a+ showing from them. So much attention to detail (though on that subject 29:30 is probably the slickest thing i've seen you do, my god) and shit, even if it doesn't perform as well as a traditional layout, the vgpu and angled fans look freaking cool. That counts for a lot to me, especially if the performance loss isn't super significant.
This is absolutely what i was hoping to see outta Tryx, i really loved how that thing looked too. Very much looking forward to what both companies do next!
Not finished watching yet... but I once modded a case with the same design idea, only the GPU was horizontal, not vertical. I basically made a seperate compartment for my then HD7950 dual setup. It worked like a charm. Looking forward to the rest of the review. Back to you Steve...
