Last year's tower build with the Asus P8P67 Pro and i7-2600K went well, and I'm still using that as my primary photo editing machine. Now I'm getting ready to build a mini ITX-based Hack Mini to use in the living room, mainly for music and movies, but also some Web surfing. Here's the parts list:

Intel DH77DF

Intel i3-3225

Silverstone ST40NF Nightjar 400w fanless PSU

G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600 8gb x 2

Crucial 128gb m4 mSATA SSD

Samsung 830 series 128gb SATA III 2.5" SSD

Western Digital Scorpio 1tb 2.5" HD (already have it)

Logitech Wireless Keyboard with built-in multitouch pad (I have a wired kbd and mouse to use during the build)

While I'm building, I'll probably connect to my NEC PA271W via DisplayPort, but after all is up and running, I'll go HDMI to my Onkyo receiver.

Anyone see any problems with this combination?
 
Ooops... forgot to add that I'm planning to install Mountain Lion on this system.
