Same here
I have the i7-3770S 65w processor installed on DQ77KB, and can recommend it. Remember though this motherboard (which has onboard DC power regulation) is only rated for 65W processors, so not possible to go higher. With your standard ITX motherboard you won't have this limitation, but other issues, like getting the heated air out of the cube become more of an issue
If you intend to put a desecrate graphics card in the cube as well then the above issue would be compounded, not to mention simply providing enough power in the first place.
Also I wouldn't discount the noise of a small fan makes, always prefer larger fans that run at lower RPM's
