It depends on your case. On mine, the drive bay cover has edges that extend inwards (with indents to lock the cover) about 1.2". If my drive bay cover didn't have this issue, then it could effectively be moved closer to the right or front of the case by 1.2".
You also have the option to install in an empty PCI slot, but in my case the flow meter cable wouldn't reach if I did this.
