Project Kaveri ITX

Not quite "beastly" just yet, but it will be by the end of January! I've only ever seen one other Wesena case build here by member iKem. Wasn't sure if I should post here or the HTPC subforum, but I think It will be pretty beastly for it's size. I'm going to try and push the limits of what I can fit in the Wesena case. Based on the TDP of the parts I've listed, the 160watt Pico PSU should be enough to power everything. Assuming the 7850K is going to consume around 100watts, I'm thinking I might be able to do dual graphics with an R7 240 that has a TDP of just 30watts.
I'll be using this thread for reference since he fits a sound card in the same spot and position that I want to fit the R7 240. Questions and comments are welcome! Let me know what you think

This will be mainly an HTPC for the living room, but also a SteamBox & general mid-range gaming PC. I'll keep the log updated when I receive new parts and begin the modifications on the case. For now, here is what it currently looks like.
