Xigmatek Elysium- The Flagship Sinker

Gundog48 · 8 Feb 2011 at 18:26

This is a preview of Xigmatek's new case, the Elysium which I am dubbing the 'Flagship Sinker' as it appears to focus on the same market as flagship cases such as the 800D and HAF-X but at a lower price. I like the brushed aluminium front and a windowed edition as pictured below will be available. This is made from 1mm thick steel which makes it a great modding case and the watercooling potential... well see for yourself!

I have contacted Xigmatek for a press release and I will update you if they release one.

That does look like a nice case i can see some projects in this.

wow, they doing good stuff.

I may also be allowed to review this as I have done reviews for them in the past, I'm always unbias so I'll let you know what it's like. A very interesting case and if I take ownership of one rest assured it will be going under the dremmel!

Good looking case - I like the style.

I really like the ancient greek mythological names!

I hate how they've missed so many basic features in the case, like dust filters and anti-vibration.

so when are the arriving in stock?

It's probably a good case but it looks awful (like an old Thermaltake or something). I'm not a fan of these cases that have a raised part at the front, but I think this case has bigger problems than that.

It is quite horrible to look at.

NathWraith · 9 Feb 2011 at 09:36

Fits an SR2?! Win based simply on that fact.

King Damager · 9 Feb 2011 at 09:42

It doesn't look great... Here's to hoping they do a matt black one, and it might look better....

What's the expected RRP?

Its not that bad looking.

Not in the same league as some of the newer antec stuff now is it

Tomcat825 · 9 Feb 2011 at 13:06

I think it looks quite sexy.... but I don't like the huge tacky looking orange fan.

Biffa · 9 Feb 2011 at 13:50

I quite like it

Ace Modder · 9 Feb 2011 at 15:20

I hate it with a passion...... lets go buy some stock

Muel · 9 Feb 2011 at 15:27

I actually quite like it. Hate the orange fans, (even though I have them myself, just bored of them now).

I just pray that they release a version of it without that massive side fan. Or that it's an easy mod to remove it and fit a plain window. I have no need for a side fan, my graphics cards run super cool.

Gundog48 · 9 Feb 2011 at 16:07

Agreed about the fans, but I quite like the look of it, especially the brushed aluminium front. Dust filters is something that it is lacking, however that is a prototype and the release version may have more features. Xigmatek will be sending a press release and I will be sure to post it up here.

Any dimensions or prices or real pics? Would like to know how this compares to my current Antec 300.
