Hey folks. First time builder, but have somewhat competent brother and friend willing to help me. I'm a designer/illustrator/animator looking to build a mini ITX customac with a very small footprint for my very small workspace. I've settled on the Jonsbo U1 case, and have found workarounds for its limitations (no PCIe opening, too small for most GPUs). Here is my PCPartPicker list:

I'm fairly certain with my compatibility. There is an alternate half size wireless card suggested by a tonymac writeup, a fan cable splitter sinze the mobo has space for one, and the case requires two. I also have two alternate wifi antennae because I hate the included standee one for the mobo. I've been informed of the risks of using 9 platform mobo, but I've found guides for workarounds and it should be fully supported relatively soon. Soon enough to be worth the risk to have new guts, I think.
So please, take the time to call out my errors and save me many headaches! I would very much appreciate it.
