This is my htpc build that is almost complete, I also have a slim line Panasonic UJ130 blu-ray drive as well not listed here, what do you guys think of my choices? I plan on running XBMC Windows. I know sandy bridge is here but I am not using the built in graphics and with no overclocking capabilities of h67 I think this should be a great fit.

is that cooler going to fit? Looks to me like it may be to low profile & interfere with mobo components & maybe ram.

If it does fit make sure to get us picks..
 
It fits. There is a post in the isk thread with a member who has the cooler in this case. As for it fiting on the mobo I placed it on but didn't bolt in the backplate bc I need some washers so it won't crush the components on the back.
