Not a fan of the Xigmatek Midgard II... looks too much like my Shinboi!

god no...
I have an Elysium and to say it is big in an understatement! 
Brilliant case in every way with two small exceptions; the 3.5 inch cages can be a pain, and the power button is too easy to press.
Firstly, once you get the cages out, it can be quite fiddly to get the drives in.
Of course, this is all relative, but coming from my old Coolermaster CM690II, which required the pulling of one level to get the drive out, it is quite difficult.
The other issue is not really a problem as such, but I have turned off my computer several times by accident. The issue is that the power button is a switch that requires very little pressure to activate, and it is in such a position that if you are using the top panel connectors, it is easy to just brush it with your hand and shut down the PC. Of course, if it really bothers you, you can always change the function of the button from within Windows.
That being said, I do love having so much space inside the case to work on it, and would definitely recommend it to anyone considering buying one. My Z68 setup with a pair of GTX 570's appears so small in there that it looks like something is missing.

The black/silver looks pretty nice, but I think I'll hold out for a Cosmos II.
from what ive heard, expect the cosmos 2 to be about three times the price of these
