Elysium: Domicile of the blessed in the Roman Empire, surrounded by its own stars and a sun - and now your new high end gaming tower! Spotlight your hardware with 12 x 5.25" drive bays and two 4-in-3 HDD cages. This case supports extreme HPTX, XL-ATX, and downward form factors. Aluminum and mesh front design with USB 3.0 and Hot-Swap HDD docking on the top panel. Two mounting possibilities for PSU - on the top and bottom - and water cooling experts and enthusiasts will be overwhelmed with support for their radiators up to 420mm, including seven spots for tube guidance.
The Elysium is that rare product that has a value that far outperforms its price. Xigmatek's Elysium is a super tower capable of running the largest enthusiast motherboard on the market, the EVGA SR-2.
Fitting an SR-2 in a case is no easy task. There are very few cases large enough to claim compatibility and many of those cost just as much as the SR-2 itself. Xigmatek didn't just stop at the SR-2, though - they also included enough room to install a large liquid cooling system capable of dissipating the heat from the motherboard, processors and even quad SLI video card configurations that are liquid cooled on a separate loop. With just a massive list of rare features that leave nothing out, this super-tower is an enthusiast's dream come true.

Pros:
- Plenty of space
- Plenty of cable management options
- Nifty fan headers to consolidate control of multiple case fans
Cons:
- Build quality
Let me elaborate... The top grill/screen is warped. The case door is hard to remove probably because the case itself is bent. When I say hard to remove I don't mean it sticks either. I mean it's like giving birth. The lip that is meant to be a handle on the edge of the case side bent horribly while removing the door. Luckily, the door is flimsy enough that I was able to bend it back. Overall I am not happy with the value. If I had this to do over again I would opt for a case from a different company. I have had the opportunity to sample many cases from many different manufacturers and I would definitely not count this Xigmatek case as well built or premium even though the price tag says it should be. It's not CaseLabs money but it's 'still expensive. There are offerings from Lian-Li, Fractal and Corsair in the mid-tower space that are better values after you factor in build quality. I didn't research but I assume there are probably options in the super-tower space from those manufacturers as well.
Overall Review: This is the first enormous case I've bought. I typically buy mid-tower cases or at most full-tower cases. This super-tower case was a purchase to house a server with a lot of hard drives in hot-swap bays along the front. Even though the build quality is fairly bad it will serve its purpose well because it has the space to house the hot-swap bays and the options for cooling to keep them ventilated.
Pros: Full mesh case + multiple stock fans = no overheating issues. Very sturdy. Very roomy. Top dock and USB ports can come in quite handy.
Cons: A bit heavy at 35lbs. Face plate and drive bays can be a bit of a chore to access. Short cables beware. Full mesh case + cup of water = lots of issues (and yes, it managed to happen...)
Overall Review: Solid 9.5/10. Have recommended this case on multiple occasions, especially when air flow/overheating has been a concern.
Pros: Great size, keeps item cool, got a great price on this case.
Cons: USB 3.0 cable came apart 1st day, put it back together, but does not work, when siting on rollers on floor, sharp edges, has cut open my toe before. Had to replace one fan - went bad
Overall Review: Over all it a great case, was on sale when I got it from new egg, so for the price I paid it has been a good value. I give it 6.5 out of 10

Pros: Tons of space, easy to get water cooling components into the case.
Cons: Does vibrate a bit if you have high RPM fans. The last case I ordered (I've gotten 3), didn't have the usual 2 cross bars inside the case along the right side which I usually use to mount a radiator. The power jumpers didn't work in the case prior to this.
