E6600 Guaranteed to hit 3.6 on an already proven 3.2 6400 system?

While E6600s do tend to overclock better than E6300/6400s, if you are going for Orthos stability, 3600 MHz tends to be pushing your luck unless you pour more vcore into it.

If you don't mind higher vcore, then i'd say 3.6 GHz is certainly doable.

But i wouldn't say it's guaranteed like 3.2 GHz on an E6400 is.

Is 3GHZ on an E6300 guaranteed?

Yep.

If you don't need a huge midtower case, the Antec Super LanBoy is great case. It has dual 120mm fans, and coupled with the 120mm exhaust in my PS, I get excellent airflow.

I had a look at that but due to being in New Zealand we have some rather strange pricing and that case is more expensive than the Aurora. Go figure. I've done quite a bit of looking around and for its size the aurora is pretty good value for money.
