So every week or so i visit Jonny Guru to see new PSU's and whatnot, but to my surprise he actually reviewed a case! The cases name was the Xigmatek Elysium. I saw that it was called a "super tower" read the review, thought the case was amazing, read/watched more reviews, and thought this case was the best on the market. Read/watch for yourself:

For those of you who dont feel like spending the time to read and watch, well Ill sum up the basic features:
■ Massive, a little bigger than 9x24x26 (WxHxD)
■10 expansion slots!!!!! Finally!
■Specifically built for the SR-2, and has dual CPU cutouts in the back for it, however can fit just about every possible motherboard-HPTX, XL-ATX, E-ATX, ATX, Micro ATX, ITX
■ The usual bottom mounted PSU, but also a space for a top mounted, or just a fan at the top rear.
■ You can basically fit 2 120mm or 1 200mm on the bottom, and extra 2 200mm on the top, or 4 120mm, so this thing has enough fans to cool anything id say, depending on the quality of the fan.
■Watercooling on this thing seems to be amazing, theres room for 2 radiators of i believe 360mm size, and with some modding you could do 3 (top, front, bottom), but who really even needs that many :lol:
■2 USB 3.0, and all the other usual connections
■12 5.25" drive bays with 2 sleds in the bottom for a possible 8 hard drives (4 in 3 sleds i believe) and then still 6 5.25" left.
■All vents have Lian Li like mesh dust filters.
■A full inch behind the motherboard for cable management, along with a very nice cable management setup:
■Option for either windowed side panel or non windowed.
■Best part, ONLY COSTS $200!!!!!!
I mean i dont know about you guys, but im extremely excited for this. This makes the HAF X look like a childs toy for the same price, and costs about half a Lian Li equivalent. Even build quality seems very nice from the reviews.
