Xigmatek Elysium

[stevebarnes15]

Anyone know the release date of this case?

It was featured in this months custom pc mag,and says available now at ebuyer,aria,and scan,but having trawled the net in search of it,only found a vid,not even a mention of it on the xigmatek webby!

Case itself looks amazing,and has loads of modding potential,despite being a bit of a monster.

Does that sound cheap to anyone else given the size of this thing? I mean it can fir a 420 rad.

230x620x660 xD. Capable of fitting the EVGA dual X58 Motherboard XD. I WANT IT SO BAD.

Also Xigmatek are known for the great value you get from their cases.

Man I really want to put an mITX Fusion Motherboard into it as a joke xD

[T.A.K]

I think it is too big for me because I move quite often and like to just carry my PC as a carry on.

The Phantom was a good choice

Just seen Tom's review on this and I feel gutted!

I completely agree with everything TTL says, and I agree that it's still brilliant, and I really haven't seen a case better suited to watercooling the way I'd like to do it, but I'm still gutted because I thought it was going to be better than it was.

I was wanted to be able to mount a quad rad in the bottom if I moved the PSU to the top.

I was sure they would have put grommet holes closer to where a standard ATX board would be.

And I really can not believe they did not cover that second CPU slot because with a standard board it just looks untidy compared to the rest of the case.

SO gutted about these things that I couldn't even wait for Tom to post the review in the reviews part of the forum before I got this off my chest.

I just can't believe they haven't done these things.

It still has load of potential though,and from a modders point of view,it sets a good benchmark for others to follow,lets just hope they take toms advice on board before release.

And well done tom,an epic review there!,gave me enough time to have a cuppa,bag of walkers, and a curly wurly!.

Still wished i'd waited though and not bought the phantom.
