Shuttle SX58H7 System - Am I crazy?

First I bought an 27" iMac and it was a total disaster. So I'm thinking about building the system listed below. I'm play some games but it's not a huge consideration. I'm looking to build a versatile, fast, small, attractive system.

Sigh ... It CAN be DONE ... But if I try to put my pet Bengal Tiger in a dog carrier ... he's gonna be mighty pissed off.

"Super Hot?" ... Well ... certainly not as cool.

It is a personal decision ... This is putting the largest desktop socket into (pretty much) the smallest form factor case. This is not "optimal" .... It can be done (If you NEED this) ... Cool it well.

I have been wanting to mount a powerful Vid-edit sys on a hand truck. This might be a candidate ... Barring some special app ... I would not get such a small case. Tiger >>> Hampster Cage ... I mean ...sure ... figure it out.
