Now I am wondering if the Scythe will fit. I haven't put it in yet but I have seen in a few threads that it may not...Guess I will find out.

So is that a yes or no?

The Arctic Cooling Alpine 11r2 (64mm height) fits in mine. I'd say it's a yes.

Ok, I get what you were showing me. Either cut some of the tray off or squeeze it in!

Cutting will commence soon...Just waiting for the cooler to arrive.
One more question. The 102W PS that came in the kit
http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-120-102W-power-kit
Is enough to power my setup?

Hi KraziJoe!
ok, so, which PSU are you using
with your A8-3870K apu?
the stock 150W that came with the isk300-150?
or you took it off
and bought/installed a PicoPSU-120 with a 102W power brick?
thanks!!

So I am running the 150 with the 102 brick. If I need to get a bigger brick, I will but I don't think I will have to.

If I need to get a bigger brick, I will but I don't think I will have to.You'll be fine with 102w for normal HTPC tasks, and PiCo PSU peak higher than its max spec too. For heavier tasks (blu-ray trandconding/editing in the background while watching blu-ray movie), 102w might not be enough....

so the A8-3870K can be handled by a 102W PSU.
weird that another member here had trouble with the A8-3850 and his 120W Power Brick.

I will use this thread since it's related to the topic of PicoPSU:
I am currently planning my first HTPC build and came across the topic of PicoPSU. The concept sounds tempting because of less heat and noise in the case. Can I use a PicoPSU with any HTPC build? How can I determine whether I can use a PicoPSU and which one (I understand there are 120, 150, etc.)?
