Look forward to seeing the insides of the Thetis :)
You could fit any size graphics card in that Thetis case , just take out the front cage & use the bottom or somewhere else for the Hdds/ssds

Thetis was a sea nymph in Greek mythology, or according to some myths, one of the Nereids, the fifty daughters of the sea god Nereus and Doris.
She was courted by both Zeus and Poseidon, but neither of them married her, out of fear of a prophecy that said Thetis' son would surpass his father in glory. Instead,
she married Peleus, with whom she had a son, the mythical hero Achilles.

Peleus' and Thetis' wedding was the main event that caused all subsequent events triggering the Trojan War. During the wedding,
the goddess of discord Eris, who had not been invited, threw amidst the guests the Apple of Discord, on which the words "to the fairest" had been inscribed.

Hera, Aphrodite and Athena started fighting over who should get the apple; Zeus said that Paris, prince of Troy should make the decision. He picked Aphrodite,
after she told him she would give him the most beautiful woman in the world as a wife. This woman was Menelaus' wife, Helen.

When Hephaestus, the blacksmith god, was thrown from Olympus either by Hera or Zeus, it was Thetis along with Eurynome that helped him and placed him on the island of Lemnos.
There, he worked for them as a blacksmith.

When Thetis gave birth to her son, Achilles, she decided to make him immortal by dipping him in the sacred waters of the river Styx, one of the rivers that flowed through the Underworld.

However, when she was dipping him, she did not realise that his heel by which she held him was not touched by the waters, thus leaving that spot vulnerable.

This is how the modern phrase "Achilles' heel" came to be; this was also the hero's doom, as an arrow shot by the prince of Troy, Paris, and guided by the god Apollo,
hit Achilles' heel during the Trojan War, killing him. After his death, Thetis took her son's body and collected his ashes in an urn. She then started commemorative festivals in his honour.

So nearly bought the showcase, but went for the P5 instead. Lack of drive space was te turning point- its all very well looking good, but really needs to have a bit more storage onboard.

Thetis arrived!
Very happy with quality of it all (Top fan guard is only let down, feels cheap and plastic) but its emphasised by the fact the rest of the case really nice ali.

I dont think I will fit my Nocta D14 in her so might have to get something else but going to try and fit. It measure 185mm from motherboard to case edge, but thats what my D14 measures in my other case so might be ok or might touch. I will try

It's a 2014 case. Looking at the current availability and their new cases like Ophion, it seems to me this will be discontinued. It's a pity considering that there's still quite a few people who want to buy it, because of minimalistic design and unique colours. Hope I can find it somehow.
