Assembly

Installing the motherboard is straightforward using spacers and screws. The board is surrounded on three sides by the grommet grilles perfectly as well, so you will be able to reach every connector along those edges directly.


Taking a closer look at the storage trays, the compatibility between 2.5" and 3.5" is implemented by a smaller tray sitting inside the larger one. Each is for the respective size. You will need to use the provided screws to secure the drives is in place.


For 2.5" units, it is a hybrid system where one side is held in place by pins while you secure each with two screws. Once filled, they are offset, so their individual power and data cables don't get in the way of each other. You may mount these inside the larger tray to put back into your system.


3.5" drives use four screws for the installation process inside the larger tray. This can then be secured to the backside of the motherboard tray.


Adding a PSU is straightforward as well, as there is plenty of room to slide a unit into place. As we use one that has a 160 mm long body, there is lots of clearance.


Even though the HAVN BF 360 Flow is categorized as a mid-tower chassis, it is on the larger end of that product grouping. As such, your large GPUs will have no issues fitting into the chassis perfectly. Thanks to the versatile GPU bracket, they will also be supported.


That same trend around spaciousness continues when you look at how much room the AIO has. Installing it into the ceiling is easy, and the motherboard is quite far away from it as well. This means that you should be able to go for thicker radiators or push/pull configurations alongside tall memory, and still be able to fit it all.


With everything installed, the HAVN BF 360 Flow makes a very clean impression. The cable routing inside the case is excellent, so even though it lacks BTF support, the leads really just pop out right next to their respective connectors. One could argue that it would be great to have a separate opening for the PCIe or 12VHPWR cable in the shroud, but the current routing options do work just fine. Behind the motherboard, the cable routing was simple and effective thanks to the circular cable channels. The only tricky section was around the I/O wiring which is routed down the front and out in the bottom left corner. While functional, the case doesn't provide a good way to cable manage that area. As such, that is where we used two of our signature red zip ties.

Finished Looks

Turning the system on, the HAVN BF 360 Flow doesn't try to wow you with any ARGB. It conveys a sense of calmness that aligns with its overall design, even down to the beautifully embedded white LED ring inside the power button.


Looking at it from the front, you can see the two fans spinning behind the front cover, while your hardware will be on perfect display thanks to the untinted glass. In the rear, everything is where you would expect to see it for a modern mid-tower chassis. That said, it would have been fantastic to have simple hooks along the left edge and some Velcro strips to also allow for exterior cable management.
