Obviously we’re using our regular test setup for the actual testing, but we wanted to see how things looked with a modern build. After all, you’re not limited when it comes to components. You don’t have to compare it against anything.

Time hasn’t dulled our love of the HAVN 420. There are bigger cases. There are ones with more glitz. But for the builder, and those who like a sleek finish, few come close.

Obviously we set the MSI Dragon to red. We wouldn’t be us if we didn’t. You can also get a glimpse of the Godlike X-Edition Dynamic Dashboard III. You can have a huge selection of things shown here, but even the default temperature layout has a nice design.

If you go for a vertical GPU arrangement you need to make sure you have a graphics card worth showing off. The nature of the HAVN dimensions mean it’ll be front and centre. Luckily the MSI Suprim is a gorgeous card and looks the business mounted here.

Lastly if you’ve pushed the boat out this much then it would be madness to not power everything well. The MSI MEG AI1600T is all the power supply you could ever need.

Yes, boxes largely live in your loft, or a spare room, or the recycling. It’s great to know that the MSI MEG range all looks the same though, should you want to show of your taste in products to passers by.
