I absolutely love this case and am working on a build for it. I have some cooling and some compatibility questions.

First of all, are there any incompatibilities which might have been missed by PCPartPicker? (I think I need a cable adapter of some sort for the Optical Drive.)
Cooling:
Any other pieces of wisdom are very welcome.
This build is for photography editing, hence the large, but somewhat slow HDD.
Thanks

Cooling:
- Will have suffer overheating problems if I O/C this as is?
- Will I suffer overheating problems with this build as is without overclocking?
- Are there ways to install some cooling fans to this unit without ruining the beautiful aesthetic of this case?
Any other pieces of wisdom are very welcome.
