Hi Antoine,
A couple of days ago I started building my own streamer based around a lot of the hardware you have. I really appreciate the effort you already put in investigating all the options and decided to take pretty much the same route. My system is build around the same Streacom case and motherboard, while also choosing Win Server 2012 + AO + Jriver/Jplay. Since you are successfully up and running I hope you don't mind me asking some question about the build.
First of all I had to remove one of the large heatsinks from the mobo to be able to fit the CPU cooler heat pipes to the case and noticed from one of your screenshots that you replaced this with some smaller black heatsinks. I'd like to know where you get those from.
My second question is about the Anker E5 battery pack. How do you connect the USB-out to a SATA power IN of a SSD? The answer might be pretty obvious, but somehow I haven't figured it out yet.
Third one: where did you buy your PPA SATA cable from? I noticed Paul Pang's website is not very clear and doesn't let you order anything and the subsequent distributors are also a bit vague to me.
All in all I'm really excited about this build. I like the flexibility of building my own PC systems. If you prefer to PM me, you can do this is Dutch
