HAVN HS 360: Strengths & Caveats
✔ Advantages
- UniSheet thermoformed tempered glass with a 7.5 mm (0.30 in) bend radius provides an unobstructed 270-degree view without a corner pillar.
- Repositionable magnetic airflow dividers and transparent deflector plates channel base intake air directly into the vertical GPU, lowering core temperatures by up to 4°C.
- Native support for reverse-connector motherboards including ASUS BTF and MSI Project Stealth simplifies clean cable routing.
- Bundled PCIe 5.0 x16 riser cable and dual 360 mm radiator capacity deliver forward-looking component compatibility.
✖ Documented Caveats
- Substantial unladen chassis weight of 29.32 lbs (13.3 kg) demands a reinforced desk setup and careful handling.
- CPU air cooler clearance is restricted to a maximum height of 6.69 in (170 mm).
Antec C6 Wood: Strengths & Caveats
✔ Advantages
- Native compatibility with back-connect motherboards for completely concealed cable routing
- Pre-installed cooling layout including two 120 mm (4.72 in) PWM reverse intake fans and one 140 mm (5.51 in) PWM exhaust fan
- Generous floating GPU clearance accommodating flagship graphics cards up to the RTX 5090
- Premium walnut wood accent trim integrated into front framing and pull-out bottom dust filter
✖ Documented Caveats
- Side-mounted power supply placement requires routing AC input through an internal 13A extension cable
- Total fan capacity is capped at six fan mounts, offering less expansion than larger dual-chamber cases
