I think a Mini-ITX board would fit inside a Shuttle case.
Not a bad idea really as there's a good mounting positions for everything but might have a little trouble lining up the PCI slots to the case.

 

It'll fit with some modification. Shuttle cases are smaller than mini-itx motherboards because they use a form factor called flex-atx. So if you're willing to make some custom mounts then the itx mobo will fit, but it'd be a lot easier just to buy a shuttle flex-atx mobo. Lots of shops that sell flex-atx motherboards can be found in the SFF FAQ .

 

is there any US or Canadian sites that offer the boards just like that?? thats what i want but i think shipping overseas would kill me

You'd have to make sure that they're the right form factor (flex-atx) though, as shuttle also make ordinary atx motherboards.

 

Mashie's put an Epia M-10000 in a shuttle type case, have a look here for more info

 

A via epia will fit in a shuttle case but the ports at the back dont line up and neither does the pci slot.
