The back of the HAVN BF 360 Flow is designed with a focus on tidy cable management and easy access during assembly. Here you will find HAVN's own SimpliCable Routing System, which provides a full 33 mm of space behind the motherboard tray - plenty of space for even thick ATX 24-pin cables and multiple RGB or PWM cables. Cable channels and strategically placed Velcro straps make it possible to keep the cables organized, improving both airflow and aesthetics. The power supply is placed at the bottom, and there are flexible grommets that facilitate cable routing to all components. This solution ensures that the back appears neat and functional, while making installation faster and more hassle-free.

Hardware installation

HAVN BF 360 Flow comes with a complete set of accessories that make it easy to get started with the installation. In the box you will find the necessary screws for the motherboard, SSD and power supply, all separated in small bags to create an overview during the construction. Also included are spacers for the motherboard, so that it can be mounted correctly and stably. To make cable management easier, Velcro straps and a few cable ties are included, which help keep the back tidy.

Installing the power supply in the HAVN BF 360 Flow is easy and user-friendly. The power supply is placed at the bottom of the case behind a separate PSU chamber, which provides a tidy look and better airflow. The case supports ATX units up to 200 mm in length, which covers the vast majority of models on the market. Installation is done from the rear, where the PSU is pushed in through the opening and secured with the included screws. There are rubber-damped surfaces under the PSU, which reduce vibrations and noise during operation. At the same time, there is a removable dust filter under the case, which makes cleaning quick and easy, so that the power supply always gets fresh and clean air.

Installing a motherboard in the HAVN BF 360 Flow is made as simple as possible thanks to the spacious interior and well-thought-out layout of the case. The case supports E-ATX motherboards up to 277 mm wide as well as ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX, which provides great flexibility. Spacers are pre-installed in the case, so that the motherboard can be positioned correctly right away. Once the motherboard is in place, it is secured with the included screws through the clearly marked mounting holes. There is generous space around the CPU socket, making it easy to install large coolers or AIO backplates without removing the motherboard again. At the same time, there are strategically placed cable glands with rubber edges, making it easy to route cables directly to the motherboard connections and achieve a tidy setup.

Conclusion

When it comes to assembly, the case makes a strong impression. The included screws, spacers and cable ties provide a structured and easy build process, where you can quickly find the necessary accessories. The power supply is easy to get into place in the PSU chamber with rubber-damped surfaces that reduce vibrations and keep the noise level down. At the same time, the removable dust filter under the bottom provides a practical solution for maintenance, so that the power supply can always draw fresh air. Motherboard installation is just as straightforward, and with the pre-mounted spacers and plenty of space around the CPU socket, it is easy to add even large coolers or AIO backplates. The strategically placed cable glands with rubber edges also contribute to a tidy setup and improved airflow.

The price of around 1400 kroner places the BF 360 Flow at the upper end of the mid-range. This means that it is not the most budget-friendly choice, but instead targets users who are willing to pay extra for solid build quality, flexibility and cooling capacity. For some, the price will be a barrier, but for those who prioritize performance and ease of construction, it appears to be a reasonable investment.

The benefits are obvious. The case has plenty of space and supports everything from Mini-ITX to large E-ATX motherboards. The quality is high, the materials feel solid, and the airflow is optimized with the included 180 mm fans, which provide plenty of cooling without being unnecessarily noisy. The option of water cooling with radiators up to 360 mm provides flexibility for more advanced setups, and USB-C on the front is a welcome modern addition. The SimpliCable system ensures that even the thickest cables can be laid neatly and efficiently, giving a clean look both front and rear.

However, there are also disadvantages. The price is, as mentioned, high, and this drags down the overall impression compared to competing cabinets. Another detail is the use of screws to attach the side and top panels, where several competitors in the same price range offer tool-less solutions that make access faster and more user-friendly. This means that the cabinet does not quite feel like a complete high-end product in some respects, although the quality is overall impressive.

Overall, the HAVN BF 360 Flow is a strong case that delivers on the most important points: easy assembly, flexible hardware support, efficient cooling and an overall high build quality. The small compromises in terms of price and some design choices mean that it is not perfect, but it is close. For the serious user who wants a case that can last for many years and supports both air and water cooled systems, it is a very good choice.

My final assessment is that the HAVN BF 360 Flow deserves a solid score of 8 out of 10. It is a cabinet that lives up to expectations, but has a few areas where there is still room for improvement.
