Fits any big size motherboard out there, Dual powersupply install possible, Numerous cutouts facilitate cable management, Dual quadruple fan power connections, Top docking station, Affordable price level for a classy big tower,
USB3.0 cables are too short, One more top fan plz, No Fan control, nor on/off LED function
I can only compare this full tower case with my good old trusty Lian Li big tower case. The Elysiums storage capacity is huge. My god who's ever gonna fill up them 12 5.25" drive bays ? The included two "4 in 3" HDD cages are a joy to work with. Yes ...
Support for EVGA SR2 and HPTX form factor motherboards, Seven grommetted water cooling holes, Plenty of cable management routing options, Four preinstalled whiteLED fans, Optional casters included, Two 4pin Molex to 5 x 3pin fan adapters, Fits any video card currently available in the market, Ten PCI Expansion Slots with reusable covers, Top and bottom power supply mounting options, Twelve 5.25
Mesh film filter prone to fraying compared to tapered edge or foambased filters, No 2.5"/SSD mounting option,
The Xigmatek Elysium is extremely spacious inside. It can house an HPTX form factor so that means you can throw in almost anything. You can install an EVGA SR-2 and a triple 140mm fan radiator and still have room for a reservoir inside. You can even ha...
The Xigmatek Elysium lives up to Homer’s description of being a paradise. The Elysium was great to work with, and full of great features. It’s impossible to argue with the space and flexibility afforded when you have a dozen full-size drive bays to wo...
The most pleasing fact about the Xigmatek Elysium is that it finally fills a long standing gap in the market. Finally there’s a large, sub-£200 case that's has been designed with water-cooling in mind. The fact you can fit a triple 140mm radiator in th...
HTPX support (SR2), Huge, roomy interior, Dual power supply capability, Great cooling performance, Massive storage capacity, Excellent liquid cooling features, Front panel USB 3.0, Hotswap feature, Relatively quiet, Great value, Casters,
No native 2.5inch drive support, No auxiliary power extension cable or speaker, Availability (for now),
So, you're unsatisfied with your current full-tower case? Not enough room? Too plain? Well, Xigmatek may have the answer. Their new Elysium is one of the largest chassis' on the market and will even support the huge SR-2 (HPTX) platform. With room fo...
Affordable - so you can spend your hard earned cash on that SR-2 you always wanted, HPTX compatibility, Two openings in mainbard tray - perfect for EVGA SR-2, Hot-Swap bay included, Can fit two separate radiators with up to 420 mm, Twelve 5.25 inch bays,
Fans are a bit loud, No 3.5 inch adapter for external drive bay, No USB cable adapter to connect USB 3.0 internally to USB 2.0 port, No extension cable for 8-pin Power cable, No separate 2.5 inch bay with the case
The Xigmatek Elysium shows once more what is possible - especially for the price. While any case with a HPTX compatibility generally comes at a price or with a price premium due to the materials used, Xigmatek once more focuses on a very effective feat...

Abstract: CDATA[ It's been a little while since we've reviewed anything from Xigmatek, and it's about time we make up for that in a big way. When I say big, I mean BIG. Today's review sample comes in the form of the Xigmatek Elysium Super Tower Chassis. The Elysium...
Supports XLATX, Ext ATX, ATX, MicroATX motherboards, 10 Expansion Slots, Supports 360 / 420 mm water cooling radiators, Supports numerous fans depending on hardware selection, Supports dual PSU installation, Supports USB 3.0, Less than $200 US, Excellent cable routing options,
Nothing to see here,
Overall I think Xigmatek hit the ball out of the park with the Elysium. Sure there are areas that could be improved upon, but for a massive case with all these features for less that 200 bones, can someone really complain? It has a nice clean look ...
Overall I think Xigmatek nailed this one. Sure, there are areas that could use some tweaks. For the most part I think Xigmatek covered all there bases fairly well. This is one of the largest cases on the market, and comes with a ton of features that...
My my my, where in Fods name do I start? How about Epic, glorious, fantastic, fan-dabby-dozey even! Xigmatek didn't let us down did they. They basically took everything they had learnt from the Utgard stuck it in a Gym for 12 months and brought us this st...
