Also the HTPC header on the bottom doesn't have enough space to take the pinheader from the CEC board. So I needed to resolder the pins directly to the header. Anyway here is a pic of the board with the cec controller. If you want to fit it in the original case you have to completely remove the pinheader of the controller board which is a pain in the ass without the proper tools.
NUC with Pulse Eight CEC
Don't want to go off on a different topic too much but can you please give more details on how well the 2820 board fits into this Akasa case? Their site only states D53427RKE which I'm assuming is something different.
If the original box is too noisy I'll be thinking of moving it into a passive box so if there are any tweaks it needs please pass them on and share the knowledge.
