Custom Intel DH77DF + i7-3770S Build - advice needed :)

I'm building a new PC specifically to fit my new desk (OneLessDesk), which has limited space.

I have decided to go with a Mini-ITX form factor and wanted to run this configuration past you to see what you thought.

Specifically, I have 3 issues:

1) The Streacom F1C case doesn't have anywhere to terminate the 4pin Mini-DIN plug on the pico PSU. Would I be able to get away with the lower power 150W adapter for the configuration below?
2) Does my configuration below have ample cooling for my hardware choices?
3) Any other tips and tricks to get the most out of my new system as it will be used as a development workstation.

New Build: Development PC

CASE: Streacom F1C (Black)
PSU: picoPSU-160-XT + 192W Adapter (4pin Mini-DIN)
MOBO: Intel DH77DF
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770S
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-12800 (2x8GB)
CPU FAN: Akasa 7106HP Low Profile
CASE FAN: Fractal Design 40mm
HDD: Samsung 830 256GB SATA-III SSD
OPTICAL: Sony AD-7640S 8x DVD-RW SlimSATA Slot
REMOTE: Streacom Internal IR Receiver and Remote Control
ANTENNA: Intel Centrino Wireless-N/Bluetooth

Thanks

Nick

I'm actually trying to find out if 3770S is supported, but it seems that is not yet. I'm installing with Unibeast and Bridgerhelper and I get the error "This is an unknown CPU".

As far as the rest of your configuration, why don't you try a mini-itx case instead.
