Havn did not do a lot unsuitable with the HS 420. It is easy to construct into and appears nice as soon as the construct’s performed. However it’s completely large and heavy. So, at Computex 2026, Havn had a solution for that.
It is referred to as the HS 360 and it is rather much like the HS 420, solely smaller. Particularly, it is 19.4% smaller and 29.5% lighter, the corporate says.
I am informed the panoramic glass, which wraps across the entrance to the aspect of the case, required a slight discount in thickness and a tighter bend radius to match the newly shrunken chassis and lower down on weight.
“I believe we may in all probability declare that it is the tightest bend on any glass panel,” Havn’s Steven Levitt tells me.
One new function on the HS 360 is the inclusion of a magnetic glass divider, which sits above a graphics card utilizing the vertical GPU mount. The thought is that chilly air coming by the underside of the case—the case makes use of a chimney structure with cool air developing by the underside—a whole lot of it was escaping proper out the highest alongside the entrance third of the case. By including in one thing to dam the air, counter-intuitively, I am informed temperatures are lowered by three levels.

There are a few minor enhancements to how followers are mounted within the case, too. Individuals who have used the HS 420 will know what I am on about, however the followers must be put in from contained in the case, which is a ache as soon as elements are put in. The HS 360 has brackets that permit them be put in within the rear, and the decrease three followers will also be lifted out from either side for simpler entry.

The HS 360 additionally has a extremely sensible answer for back-connect motherboards—these with all of the connectors on the rear for a wiser look. The tray to the aspect of the motherboard tray, with the cutouts {that a} 24-pin motherboard cable would often run by, flips round, which suggests a back-connect motherboard can match right here, and there are not any pointless cutouts for a cleaner look. Sensible.
All of those upgrades can be nice on the bigger HS 420, too. So I requested Levitt about that, and he informed me they’re engaged on it, nevertheless it’s one thing for the longer term. Maybe a V2, then.
I am informed the VGPU model of the HS 360 might be round $230. The non-VGPU one might be round $160. These are solely tentative costs, however that might put this case a little bit above the bigger HS 420 and BF 360.
