Hello everybody!
I build a custom chassis for TFX PSU and now I thinking about upgrade my PSU to Chieftec GPF-350P or Seasonic SS-300TFX. I'd like to order Seasonic, but I noticed, that AC connector (220/110V) located somehow strange to compare with the Chieftec and any other TFX PSU out here, including already installed one, a little shitfted alongside X/Y coordinates.
Because I have a very precious hole in my current chassis, I'd like to know exactly how much it shifted. Could anyone check this sizes and write down it here? CMs would be best (we use here a metric system), but inches are OK too.
In attached photo of the Seasonic PSU I marked with red lines sizes, which I want to know.
Thank in advance.

It's useless, because chassis is custom...
And yes, I contacted Seasonic, but I don't have a hope they will ever answer me. I have a lot of experience with contacting a big companies, if they even answer, it will be too late... Because PR person never even a hold their production in his (or her) hands... What's why I try to ask an actual owners here... If there are any of them.
I wanna order the PSU from a different country... Some mate of me will in a bussiness trip in a week or so. But if cannot install the PSU I will order a different model. With AC connector located in standard position.

From a picture perspective those sizes marked with ? should be same and i think it is:
0.7 or 0.8 inch
2 or 2.2 cm

if you cut the case to the very edge of the PSU just before the corner/edges for the new PSU, it should be fine. Look at the current PSU in that case, I dont see why you didnt cut to the edge of the vent holes, that PSU must have gotten a bit hot at times from not enough air. If your gonna ghetto mod a case atleast make it look like you didnt do the cutting with a toenail clipper.

Of course mate, if he expects for PSU to cool itself properly and to actually fit in that case

Can you close that case sides when psu is installed in?

Front and rear side doesn't have any panels.
PSU's fan on front side works as good as possible.
I will post new photos, when I install a graphics card inside my enclosure.

Seasonic's representative sent me a dimensions draw, but as I assumed, it was too late. So I printed in 100% size photo from Laki89 (thank you), and understood, that my 4th fixture will be opposite AC connector, so I ordered the Chieftec PSU.

Beside that, on the rear side of PSU where heat goes out, it shouldn't be covered
