HAVN has introduced a special edition of its HS 420 computer case, developed in collaboration with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. This new model is officially licensed by Mercedes-AMG and features design elements inspired by the racing division, making it more than just a functional case—it is a collector's item for Formula 1 and motorsport enthusiasts. The aesthetic follows the team's signature color scheme: the chassis features silhouettes of F1 race cars, the iconic silver star, carbon fiber textures, and distinct turquoise accents that mirror the livery of the racing cars.
Racing styling and signature details
The design of this special edition is meticulously thought out, drawing upon the visual language of the Mercedes racing team. Beyond the graphics, the case includes a start-stop button stylized to resemble the control elements of a race car. This touch turns the daily act of powering on a PC into a nod to the track's starting protocol and highlights the cohesive theme of the product. The turquoise inserts and carbon texture serve as striking accents against the dark background while maintaining the instantly recognizable Mercedes-AMG aesthetic.
Individual plaque and pricing
A unique feature of this limited edition is a custom metal plaque with an engraved nameplate, created in a bespoke design. Such an element elevates the case to a personalized level, enhancing its value for collectors. The retail price for the HAVN HS 420 in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team edition is $350, positioning it as a premium option within the case lineup.
Technical capabilities retained
Despite the focus on aesthetics, the case retains all the core functionality of the standard HS 420 model. It is equipped with six expansion slots and is compatible with select E-ATX motherboards. It supports graphics cards up to 480 mm in length and accommodates up to 11 fans. For liquid cooling systems, 420 mm radiators can be mounted on the top and right sides of the chassis. As a result, the limited edition matches the standard model in its key compatibility and cooling specifications.
Target audience
The special edition HAVN HS 420 is aimed at users looking to combine high-performance builds with a recognizable racing aesthetic. The official Mercedes-AMG license, custom plaque, and refined styling make the case a perfect choice for F1 fans and collectors alike. Furthermore, the preserved technical specifications—six slots, E-ATX support, long GPU compatibility, and 420 mm radiator support—make the model suitable not only as a display piece but also as a fully capable high-end gaming or workstation chassis.
