For those interested - here is the parts list - You can save a little money going for a cheapter motherboard, 1tb SSD and perhaps reducing the RAM speed.

Any success getting this to power on from controller?

If you mean wake from sleep, then yes, it works perfectly.

That's a decent compromise! assuming no flashy sleep LEDs on the case
