Looks exactly the same as the one in my HTPC and the one I linked is what I use, though it has been deactivated I am sure there is a similar, newer, version being made.

Correct... NINJA MINI REV B., which supports LGA1156. I couldn't fit the 92mm PWM fan on the other side because of the memory, so I had to set it up to pull air. However, I managed to squeeze in an 80mm fan at 5V to push air through the heatsink for better efficiency.

As for SSD, 80GB is a bid excessive for simply Win7-only. With optimizations, I was able to get the footprint down to 8-9GB. With the extra space, I install drivers, utilities, and some small apps that I didn't mind taking up space. It's really nice to have small stuff load up super fast. Right now, I have a 150GB RaptorX for all of my games, temp location, Internet cache, etc. Look up Kingston 40MB SSD, which uses Intel flash. It's a bit slower than the X25-M, but priced just right for OS-only storage.
