Yea that a mini itx case(mine is too)
You just gotta make sure the motherboard is a mini itx board
This the one I got
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157311R
That case you're getting already has a power supply so you dont have to buy one
The processor and ram connects to the motherboard and the ssd is small, it will fit with no problem
seems like a case that small really limits what the PC can do. I mean at that point wouldn't something like a Roku be cheaper and better?
in my miniITX build i ended up going with this board
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157374
the built in wireless AC and Bluetooth are nice. it has 4 USB 3.0 ports on the back and my case adds 2 more on the front and 2 USB 2.0 ports on the back with 1 on the front but it really helps that the wireless and Bluetooth are built in so i don't burn ports on them.
the problem with my board is it requires a Haswell and can't do an Ivy Bridge. Since i got mine from Microcenter the 4770K was the only obvious choice at $280. at that point the new HTPC became a better PC than my gaming PC so i went all out.
threw it in this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...19286&ef_id=Unb0fQAABD0nWCX-:20131107033217:s
that thing is about half the size of my AV receiver and just about the same depth. it doesn't look out of place and fits in the typical TV stand.

That Celeron would be more than enough. Don't even think about gaming with it though.
