What's all the rage in PC building right now? If you'd have said dual-chamber chassis with glass front panels, oh, do I have the dual-chamber glass front panel PC case for you.
It's called the Havn HS 420. Unless you caught our story on this case from out at Computex, you won't be familiar with Havn. It's a new brand, head up by Pro Gamers Group (PGG). PGG is also behind Noblechairs, Ducky, Streamplify, Aerocool, and Endgame Gear.
The HS 420 is Havn's first creation. This is a mid-tower, dual-chamber chassis with space for ITX/ATX/E-ATX motherboards and includes a few standout features to try and justify its starting price of $199/£200/€230.
I say starting price, as the VGPU version I have here for review, and which comes with a mounting bracket, PCIe 5.0 riser cable, and fan mount to load up a graphics card vertically, costs an extra $70/£70/€60. That brings this case up to $269/£270/€290.

Let's get into the nuts and bolts of the case, then. Because that's a lot of money for a chassis. What's most notable about it is the panoramic glass panel that wraps around from the side of the case to the front—the glass being a single sheet, heat-formed to fit. Of course, it's a stunner. For a showcase build or just showing off all your RGB LEDs, there are few cases offering as much visibility into your PC's innards as this.
