The quickest way to get a definitive answer may be to just ask Intel:

Keep the case packaging, potentially build it into a wooden crate as well, insure the gently caress out of it, remove any heavy CPU coolers or video cards and ship them separately - or fill the gaps in the case with dense foam so nothing can move around too much.

Though pay attention to the orientation of any power connectors on the end of the board.

Speaking of ridiculous ITX cases:

Same with TVs - Amazon might stock a range from 24" up to 42" and the larger displays will use IPS panels and then the small one might use a lovely TN panel. The reviews will say how good the image is but the reviews are tied to the product page and not the individual options, so nobody has any idea what the person who wrote the review actually bought.

If you need a computer to look good from all angles and an all-in-one isn't an option then I think your best bet is to get a case that you can bolt underneath a desk and use as many wireless peripherals as possible.

For thermal pads, see http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/fans-thermal-management/thermal-pads-sheets/1179751

I think anything that advertises vPro will have a TPM. Alternatively there's the Dell OptiPlex Micro series, or HP's 'Mini' form-factor in their business PC range.
