Hi
First time poster trying to build a core i5 SFF linux desktop for normal use and to occasionally play X-Plane (flight simulator) which at this time is CPU heavy (rather than GPU).
I have a put a list of parts together and was wondering if everything would fit inside the SG05 which btw looks pretty sweet.

Three things I am worried about is:
1. Would the stock core i5 cooler fit with some room to spare?
2. Can I use slim DVD drives other than those from Silverstone which are $$$?
3. Is the DFI P55 board any good? There are no reviews on newegg at this time.
Please share your experience with the DFI P55 and i5 inside the SGO5.
Thanks in advance.
