Hello brrine,
Your project is very cool. The first mac I ever touched in my life was the LCIII. At the time I couldn't afford one it was the computer of a good friend. Can remember it was already equiped with a sound card a mic and some cool games. Later my friend also bought a external CD ROM drive which was only 2X but pretty cool at that time.
What do you want to do with your machine ? A 4770K is a "powerful" CPU but with a high TDP 85W inside this "small pizza box".
On my PS3 CASE MOD I installed a low TDP CPU only 35W Intel i3-4350T.
With only one FAN I have 28°C inside the box and 32 to 35 °C on the CPU for example while playing movies (20% CPU) for hours. The temperature doesn't rise to much.
As you can see the height available inside my case was also very low and the inside box height is 6,5 cm and there is some space between the CPU and the top of the inside case.
I never had the possibility to look inside the case. Maybe could you post some photos with the inside measures ?
Good luck with your project and I hope you'll have a lot of fun just like I did.
