HAVN’s new HS360 VGPU case received an overall rating of 93% from TweakTown following a review published on October 29, 2026. The outlet awarded 92% for performance, and 93% each for quality, features, and value.

The design marks a calculated update to the previous HS420 model. HAVN reportedly made worthwhile improvements while significantly reducing the physical footprint. The case measures 490.9mm x 242.1mm x 520.9mm and has a weight of 13.4kg. This configuration is 19.4% smaller and 29.5% lighter than the HS420.

Customers can acquire the unit in two versions. The standard HS360 is priced at $199.99, while the VGPU variant is $279.99. Neither version imposes a white tax, allowing the case to be bought in either black or white.

The VGPU kit represents the $80 difference between the two models. This kit bundles the vertical GPU mounting hardware, a PCIe 5.0 riser, and a set of angled bottom fan mounts. TweakTown tested the performance using the case both with and without this specific kit.

Initial testing revealed the case’s cooling capabilities. Over a two-hour stress test at 22°C ambient, the CPU peaked at 76.2°C and averaged 72.8°C. Normalized measurements showed the CPU averaged 70.8°C. The GPU maximum temperature was 68.1°C, averaging 66.7°C.

Improving the cooling dramatically required adding three intake fans to the bottom mount and incorporating the VGPU kit. With ambient shifted to 24°C, the CPU average dropped to 67.2°C on a delta basis. The GPU reached 63.3°C, marking a 1.4°C improvement for the graphics card and a 3.6°C improvement for the processor.

This performance pushed the HS360 VGPU into the top five cases tested by TweakTown for GPU temperatures, positioning it just behind HAVN’s own BF360. The reviewer noted that the case supports up to 11 total fans, although populating this capacity requires added cost.

Structural improvements are apparent in the build quality. HAVN increased the chassis’s structural strength compared to the HS420. Furthermore, the revised UniSheet panoramic glass features a tighter bend radius, enhancing the look and feel of the wrap-around panel.

Functionality received praise, particularly the addition of BTF motherboard support. The reviewer stated that HAVN included a removable pass-through bracket that aligns with rear-connector boards, streamlining the final installation look.

Internally, the case offers substantial capacity. Users can fit four 2.5-inch drives or two 3.5-inch drives. The system supports a PSU up to 230mm long, a CPU cooler up to 170mm tall, and a graphics card up to 430mm.

The cooling structure includes an eight-port PWM hub and compatibility for top-mounted 120mm fans, front support for two 120mm or two 140mm fans, and radiator space for 120mm, 240mm, and 280mm units at the front.

The cons list is relatively short. The case ships without any fans, requiring buyers to purchase additional cooling components. Another omission noted was the lack of ARGB control on the fan hub, despite the case’s aesthetic focus.

Overall, the review concluded that the HS360 is an improvement built directly on user feedback, offering the aesthetics and performance of the larger HS420 in a more desk-friendly, compact format.
