Mac HTPC Help

[prnoct90]

I am working on putting together a Mac HTPC. I am not happy with the overpriced, outdated Mac Minis at the moment, so I just want to make my own. My goal is around/under $400, and I would like to use the latest Intel Processors. Here is what I've come up with so far. Im sure it is missing something, or something is way off, because not only have I never built a HTPC, Ive never actually built my own computer before.

 

Motherboard

ASRock H67M-ITX

I'm not planning on having a disc drive, if thats possible? I dont need one. Will all of the components properly fit in that case. It is the smallest one I could find. My space is limited. Does anyone know of a better case in that size range? I dont want to spend much more then that. If anyone has reccomendations for different components, or know that one of the components I chose wont work, please let me know. I am willing to spend a little more, but would rather not. Also, what is a good power supply? And for bluetooth? Thanks!
