I hope this is in the right forum section I was having difficulty deciding where to put it.
I have a computer "hutch" in which I would like to place my computer if at all possible. My mom would also prefer being able to fit it inside the tower without problems. The tower for my computer is the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Black Edition. It is 22x10x21 inches. The dimensions of my "hutch" are as shown on the picture, if clarification is needed please ask. Everything in the hutch currently can be moved and I have the ability to move some of the shelves and drawers. The monitor and speakers must stay but the subwoofer and Ethernet box can be moved. I am not an expert on cooling, I will not be regularly overclocking my system and I will have 2x140mm 2x120mm and 1x200mm fans in the case along with the cpu cooler and gpu cooler. I would like easy access to the tower, and visibility of the LEDs and components via the clear window on the left side of the case at any time. Thanks in advance for help.
If measurements are unclear please ask and I will be happy to clarify.

Well it certainly looks like you can jam it in there but it looks like that hutch barely has the depth to hold the computer without all the cables plugged into the back, probably add at least another inch to your depth measurement to account for the cables. So it will probably end up sticking outside the hutch by and inch or two.

Personally I'm against ever putting a computer, especially an OC'd one, inside an enclosed space like that. It will definitely interfere with your maximum cooling.

If you really must I'd clear out the shelf space on the top right and use that. Seems to be the biggest space available to you.
