Here is what i have order for my first HTPC Build. Currently using my Dell M4400 with docking station in my master bed room.

This will be for my family room

Mobo: Asus E35M1-I Deluxe
RAM: Kingston's KHX1333C9D3UK2/4GX is a kit of two 256M x 64-bit DDR3-1333 CL9 SDRAM
Upgraded the Mobo Wireless to: Intel WiFi Link 6200 Half-Height Mini Card (to take more advantage of my dual band router 2.4 & 5 mhz/Stock WiFi doesn't used the 5mhz band)

OS: Win 7 Enterprise 64Bit

i am also looking at the Habey case (very nice looking!). Have you checked the height of the your mobo+processor+cooling fan? As I recall total height can only be 1.5 or 1.25 inchesHuh

Asus Dimensions 6.7" x 6.7"

True but I believe Habey has a max height spec for the mobo+processor+fan. You dont have the full 3" height because of the HDD, ODD, etc. Here is the spec from their website:

Slim Mini-ITX, up to 1.5” in height with heatsink or cooling fan

I'm looking into using this case but I have a question. Do you have to use a direct feed optical drive? I don't see an eject button or anything like that on the case.

Yes you need to use a direct feed optical drive. No eject bottom on the case.
