A buddy gave me his old Shuttle XPC, its a p4 2.4ghz, old i guess. It works but the PSU is about to go i think. I was checking out the specs on the unit, and it says it uses a mini flex motherboard? I got some pics here and was wondering if I can replace the board with something else? Mini atx perhaps? The shuttle design is very tight. I think the pics will explain. Btw the shuttle is the same style different color, the pics are from a euro model. But its pretty much the same thing but a silver color, same board, etc.
The mobo description
FlexATX-Mainboard, Dimension: 25,5 x 18,6 cm
Chipset: SiS651(B)/SiS962L
Socket 478 supports Pentium 4 with 533MHz QuadFSB
Prescott processors are not supported
Integrated: SiS315 graphics-function
6-Channel AC97 2.2 Codec
Slots: 1x AGP (4X-mode), 1x PCI (for simulataneous use)
Supports 2 x 184 Pin DDR200/266/333 memory modules, 2GB capacity
More connectors: 6 USB 2.0, 2 ATA-133, 3 x 1394 Firewire
Im not sure what psu fits these things, im guessing regular mini atx psu's might fit? I wish it had pci-e but if I can get a mini * board to fit, and maybe a hackjob on the rear, and if its cost effective Ill give it a shot. Otherwise I guess I'll just replace the psu, cpu, and just plug it into the living room tv as a crappy hdpc.
