Yes, with 1-2 inches to spare, depending on if you use the upper drive tray with a drive or not.
Just bought myself a silver thetis and now am deciding on cooling. In the future I'd love to do a full custom loop with at least a 240 rad up top and a 120 in the rear.
Current setup:
6700k, CM 212 plus
evga gtx 1080 sc (not reference style) (267mm length)
140mm length ATX psu
For now though I am trying to decide between:
1a.
top: two 120mm intake fans
bottom/rear: psu exhaust <--, --> air cooler (currently CM 212), --> 120mm exhaust
1b. psu exhaust <--, bottom 120 <--, <-- air cooler (currently CM 212), <-- 120mm intake
2.
top: 240mm rad set as intake
bottom/rear: psu exhaust <--, (maybe bottom 120 <--), --> 120mm exhaust
3. same as 1a/b but with 120mm radiator (thick one like arctic liquid freezer 120 or corsair h80i v2) at the rear as intake or exhaust
1 + most cost effective (at minimum just a new fan for my CM212, but will probably replace with something better like thermalright macho rev b)
+gpu gets fresh air from outside
- worried about getting airflow to the cpu cooler. Thought about turning the psu around to face the front and adding bottom 120 as intake
2. +fresh air straight to a 240mm radiator *should* provide best cpu temps
+room for 120 gpu rad in the rear (looking to upgrade to volta when it comes out)
-potential issues routing tubing from cpu block to top 240.
-most expensive
-worried about gpu temps though after researching it seems having a 240 rad intake doesnt affect gpu temps much in a typical front to back tower case, however this is a different beast
3. middle of the road cost
+gpu gets fresh air from outside
-cpu rad recieves warmer air from inside including warm gpu air
My goal is not absolute maximum performance but I want to overclock both cpu and gpu without it getting too loud (esp when not gaming)
Thoughts?

Nice build Acquacow. I'm just building one myself, a bit lower spec though.
2 questions, where did you get the ssd cage.
And second, not really a question, you commented on the 'hidden' cabling being exposed by the glass (a bit daft to be honest, having glass both sides). I have the non glass option, if anyone with this case, in the UK, would like to swap a black ali panel for glass then drop me a line. (Can talk about value adjustment.)
eta: Found the cage, in no rush so going the Hong Kong route, £3.00, a bargain.

Are you guys still enjoying the Thetis? I'm very tempted to buy it, but still a bit conflicted. I need to put the card in the 2nd pci-e port due to the 16,5 cm power supply. Wondering if the GPU will be too close to the top to justify intake fans.

How did you paint it black? I was thinking about using tinted film to make both panels a bit darker. They don't look dark tinted like some of the other Raijintek cases (Asterion).
That’s your point of view...and of course i disagree..
I can either use the leaky Enermax or a 92mm noctua cooler. That's not very flexible is it?
I'm looking to purchase the thetis as i need a downsize from my Fractal design S.
My only concern is the airflow and noise - any comment?

Thus I guess you didn't check my build log, or cerberus topic.
- Swiftech apogee drive II + MCR H220
- Dual 240mm radiator custom loop
- Noctua C14S
- Noctua U9S/D9L
- Cryorig H7 (with all variant)
- Scythe Fuma
- Standard asetek 240mm aio
Many, many choices available in 21l (ATX version)
Thetis is a good case, but try not to compare it versus Cerberus (or any case), with no strong back up...
Wtf...
Dual 240mm radiator Customed loop not working with tr4?
Noctua u9s does not have tr4 compatibility?
Asetek aio are all compatible with tr4, even if they are just average with them
