Hello All!

I've been eyeing the Corsair Obsidian 550D case for some time now, love the sleek design with its silent features and the option for airflow. Anyways, I have a desk with a tower cut-out, it is tall and has depth but limited in width.

The 550D is 22.4cm wide, where i want to put the case is 22.7cm wide.

I would put a 200mm intake on the side of the case, the case being pushed to the opposite side obviously. thanks!!
