Xigmatek Elysium Super-Tower Full Tower Chassis Review
Peter Donnell / 12 years ago
With a full system in place it becomes a lot clearer how big this chassis actually is, this graphics card has never had to much room to breathe, because this case is so big we hardly had to use any of the available cable management cut-outs.
the Antec Kuhler 920 sits nicely at the tom left of the chassis, leaving plenty of room between its self and the motherboard, leaving plenty of room for easy access when installing the other components or making upgrades.
The front of the chassis is much the same, having a single optical drive in the top just highlights scale of this chassis yet again, I didn’t much like the drive bays on this chassis, but I’ll explain more about that in a moment.
The drive bays are dived into 4 slots per cage over 3 cages, but unfortunately this system doesn’t come with support for an SSD hard drive, something to keep in mind and you would likely require a bracket to hold it firmly in place, as such ours is just sat at the bottom of the chassis.
Around the back of the chassis everything looks nice and tidy once installed, with plenty more room for the graphics card and air flow even after a complete system has been installed.
Once the side panel is installed some of the cable management issues I was havving didn’t really matter, the huge fan on the side panel completely obscures out entire motherboard and all the components, from a flat side angle the only thing you can see is the Antec logo on the PSU, but otherwise the case just looks empty, which given the scale of this case compared to the installed components, it kind of is.
