Introduction
I would like to thank
HAVN for supplying the review sample.
HAVN is launching into the public space as a brand with its first retail product, the HS 420, teased at Computex early this year. Available as a classic full tower simply named HS 420, as well as the HS 420 VGPU, which sports a unique vertical GPU setup. The HAVN HS 420 available in white or black, which means there are a total of four SKUs available from the brand to start. We got the white HAVN HS 420 VGPU for review.

Packaging
The HAVN HS 420 VGPU ships in a brown box with orange and black writing. It is also sealed with branded orange tape. A sticker on the side lets you know which version you have within the box.
HAVN is going the extra mile to give you a very nice unboxing experience, which one could argue is pretty important when first establishing a new brand. The interior of the box has branding on it and the accessories box alongside a thank-you card can be found right on top as you open it up. The case itself is held in place by foam spacers, with a plastic bag to further protect it and keep away fingerprints and scratches.
