It depends on the riser and the case you use - if it extends out away from 
the board, you'll not have any issues, (pizza box type case) but if it 
doubles-back over the board (shuttle/cube type case) then there may not be 
enough headroom. (The fan/heatsink looks high, but can't really tell from 
the photos)

Zero issues with it's performance for SOHO use IMO. I don't use that 
processor/board, but do use 1GHz VIA processors. Oslec works great on 
openvox cards.
