Quality (30% of the total score) The manufacturing quality of the Elysium is exceptional, even for a case of its class. Despite the massive proportions and substantial weight, the steel body of the Elysium is sturdy like a rock. There are no sharp...

My my my, where in Fods name do I start? How about Epic, glorious, fantastic, fan-dabby-dozey even! Xigmatek didn't let us down did they. They basically took everything they had learnt from the Utgard stuck it in a Gym for 12 months and brought us...
