This is looking great! Do you have any updates? I'd be really curious to see how you got the PSU mounted and what you did or did not have to do about the CPU cooling under load. I have a pretty similar project using the E3-1265L and a quad gig nic card rather than the discrete graphics. I would really like to keep it as quiet as possible as its going to be in my office and so was hoping to avoid exposing the CPU fan direct to the elements - thoughts: 1) mount the motherboard upside down though this would mean venting cpu heat directly onto the hard disks - probably not ideal but in keeping with the original side mounting setup the case was designed for. 2) cut one or more vents in the top to allow the cpu fan to directly vent - not so keen on this as it possibly creates multiple air flows inside a small case and might cause hot spots 3) try watercooling - remove one or both fans from inside the case replace with a radiator on one then remount the fans on back of the case (with grills)
