Those specs look a lot like the Steam Box I just built. I can 't wait to see what SteamOS has to offer.

Yes, I can fit the ODD cage in. The PSU cables are the only things that make it tight. The GPU causes no problems.

Here is how it looks, for now. I may still swap out the fans to decrease noise.

I set the fan to go to 50% at idle, and, while much more quiet, it is still louder than the GPU and PSU.

I have not. I will try that first.

The system is now up and running. It is louder than I would like. I think most of the noise is coming from the CPU cooler fan that came with the Silverstone NT06-Pro. Any suggestions for a quieter fan to replace the Silverstone fan?

I can confirm that the MSI 760 with the twin frozr will fit in the SG05 without any modding. I would say that the 260mm measurement is accurate. It is a tight fit, but it fits. There is no more than 2mm to spare.

I am running Paranoid Android, and I am very happy with it. Currently on 4.2.2 until they get the kinks worked out of the 4.3 version. The 3G/LTE switch bug is the only thing holding me back for now.

All parts are now purchased as listed in OP.

Student discount. I was actually able to get a free copy through the DreamSpark program, so that saved me $70 on this build. There are some perks to going back to school.

Thank you, that is reassuring. Are you happy with the motherboard? I am still deciding which to buy.

Socket compatibility is not what I am worried about. I am worried about the socket location compared to the pcie slot and other clearance issues.

Does anyone know if the Silverstone NT-06 will work with any of the new Haswell ITX Motherboards in the SG05? If so, which ones? I am putting a build together, and this seems to be the best cooler to use with the SG05.

Here is my latest version of the build via PCPartsPicker. I have ordered the Case, PSU, RAM, and GPU. I changed the motherboard to the MSI. I like this board, but it is not available at Microcenter at this time. I will go to Microcenter in two weeks. I will see what is available at that...

It looks like the Thermalright AXP-100 may be the best cooler I can get to fit into this build. Anyone have any better suggestions?
