I decided the Xeon-D was a bit expensive for what it offered, and the person I'd bought the motherboard through offered to buy it back. So I'm left with

* 2 16GB sticks ECC DDR4 - anyone want to make me an offer for them?
* A nice small HTPC-style case (Compucase 8K01) with a 120W PSU

Can you sensibly fit a quad-core Skylake into such a box? It's only 70mm high which doesn't leave much room for enormous coolers; I don't have a good idea how much headroom over the CPU TDP I need to account for devices on the motherboard.
