Here's the challenge: Get the most performance from the smallest package, on a budget. I already have my gaming machine, so this will be somewhat of a project rig.
Parts so far:
M300 case:

AMD PII 905e

Zotac GF8200 motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500021
Hard Drive

Memory

PicoPSU

That's basically it right now. BUT, what I really want to utilize in this build, is the extra PCI slot on the M300 case. and my X-Fi Titanium. The problem is the heatsink height of the 905e, which I'm not sure of, so I may need to invest in an extremely short heatsink as well. Also, I'm having a lot of trouble finding the appropriate flex riser for the PCIeX1 slot so that I can mount the X-Fi Titanium sideways.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a heatsink that would fit in the M300, potentially underneath the X-Fi Titanium sound card, and also a good cheap flex cable? The only one I've found is about $50
