Isn't this the only case that will take 420mm radiators without modification (excluding silverstone and some other very expensive cases not sold here) ?
Is it solidly built and does it have a good weight? Even if so, the elysium is meant for E-ATX and dual sockets which makes it undesirable.

The NZXT 810 can fit some but not all and seems cheaply built.

Hi
yes you can put a 420 into the top no problem, i have got a 360 in there with a push pull fan setup

cobbly123 · 3 Apr 2012 at 02:10

i took the thick 240 rad that was in the top and put that in the bottom and sold the slim one

Hi cobbly123,
I love the look of the case

.How are you finding it is it nosily,what are the fans like?
I'm thinking about getting this case or a 800D.I've you got any pic's of the fount of the case
Thanks again mate

Cheers
the fans that come with it are realy quiet, the only reason i changed was for the red leds. Will get some more pics taken tonight and add them

the build quality is brilliant. Its not a case to carry around anywere as they are very heavy. The wheels make it ideal to shove around

@cobbly123 Thanks for the photo's.I will get one on Friday if funds permit as I'm looking at a new GPU as will

If you get a case and it doesnt have the grommet for the second cpu hole, if you email xigmatek direct they will send one out f.o.c

Mine was an early case and didnt have one but they sorted it np. Brilliant aftersales service

cobbly123 · 4 Apr 2012 at 21:43

Scoobie we will need pics

These are brilliant cases for watercooling with so many good features. I have a 120.3 in the top and a 120.2 in the drive bays and theres still plenty of room inside.

Did you take the second mesh out of the roof ? I found my temps were better with it out

No i didn't think it would make much difference, ill take it out tommorow and try it.

Yes you get a lot more air out at lower speeds, if you just bend the tags and pop it out it drops out,
