Xigmatek Elysium Black CCC-HSA0DS-U01 All Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Super Tower Computer Case

Pros: >Size - provides great ideas for positioning your fans to customize that much needed air flow. If you want it to go over the CPU/RAM and the up, go for it. If you want to ALSO make it go over the dual GPUs, and then out the back, go for it. For kicks, you probably could fit a small dog inside the case, and still close it. Maybe three chiuahauas. It is a very sturdy, solid construction, so they cannot get out.

>Cooling: It can take so many fans. There are two chips on the sides of the case. These chips are LOADED with 3/4 pin connectors. Even if you had a super custom welded fan holder, and you somehow mounted it inside the case, you would have no problem finding a chassis fan connection.

>Radiator Cooling: Although I do not have any, it can take top mounted radiators. and it has all the grommets in the back to liquid cool the machine.

>Cable Management: I am very primitive when it comes routing cables. But with the Elysium, it made even my machine seem clean.

>Huge MB capacity. If you have a MB, it will more than likely take it.

>POWER REDUNDANCY: This case gives you the ability to house a bottom PSU AND a top PSU. My rig now pulls 1600 Watts!!!

>It has plenty of front ports and even comes with a toaster for both SSD & HDD drives.

>HDD drive bays have these rubber bushings that go around the screws that are used to attach HDD. These are genius for vibration dampening, as my sub-woofer is under my desk.

>How many drive bays do you need? I didn't use them all, will you?

>Cleaning: both sides pull off, and there are removable screens...making blowing it out an easy peasy lemon squezzy deal.

Cons: The front case cover is incredibly hard to pry off.

Changing HDDs will be hard; the holders are BURIED. So, just make sure you just buy quality products that won't die in a month or two and you will be fine.

The side panels are hard to get back on, only because the case is so dang huge!

Overall Review: I would recommend this case to those with RAID Arrays, big MB buyers, liquid and radiator wise consumers, and for those who are worried about thermal control and need lots of fans and cable routes.

The Toaster WILL come in handy if you have a drive that you want to scan for some buddies, as it is Plug and Play.

If you choose the dual PSUs like myself, make sure you get the main power splitter!!!

Pros: HUGE, enough room for anything.

Cons: the Xigmatek packaging sucks, The back foot was broken off bent and the front panel had a dent in it. The front panel was fixable but the foot was broken off and unfixable... Atleast it comes with wheels.

Overall Review: None
