I'm looking to build a new llano (A8-3850 most likely) based SFF PC to replace my aging desktop.

This will be used for work (office, mathematica, illustrator), some light gaming, mostly urban terror. I will be running Windows 7 due to my need for ms office and illustrator, otherwise I would be running ubuntu/debian. I'd like to keep the machine small and reasonably quiet.

The plan so far is

CPU: AMD A8-3850
MB: mITX FM1, maybe the ASRock or wait for something else
RAM: 2x 4GB, mushkin silverline probably, doesn't really matter
GFX: on-die
SDD: 128GB Crucial M4 (no need for a mechanical drive, my ZFS NAS holds all the files)
Case: not 100% sure yet, maybe Antec ISK 310-150, should have enough power and its nice and small
HSF: need to find one that fits, maybe the Prolimatech Samuel 17, people seemed to have trouble with the Scythe Shuriken.

I was hoping for any advice regarding small case + HSF compatibility. Thanks!

I was thinking it would be cool to use the Habey EMC-600S along with a pico-psu but I'm just not sure how I could cool the CPU adequately in such a small case.
