Shuttles are barebones and already have their own proprietary mobo, PSU, cooling solution, etc. - you can't change to another.

While the XQpack uses all standard components including microATX mobos. Instead of the XQPack which includes a proprietary PSU (4.5" deep), get the Ultra MicroFly. The MicroFly is a bit longer and can more easily hold standard ATX PSUs (5.5" deep) - the other can hold PSUs of standard depth, but it can be a tight squeeze depending on the length of your optical drives (the short length optical drives are recommended for all of these). I generally recommend buying the case WITHOUT a PSU and put the PSU you need in there. I'm not sure if you can get the X-QPack w/o PSU, but I know you can with the u-Fly. I don't like having to recommend Ultra products, but here they've done it a bit better than the other two variants (the Chenming 118 is the third variant of the same case) .

I don't recommend the shoebox barebones like the Shuttle as they are generally not upgradeable except thru whatever Shuttle might offer to do so.

Zepper nailed it very well. If you want the look of a QPack style case then consider the MicroFly. I haven't used it but I do have the QPack and swapped the PSU on the first day. I went with an mATX case because I wanted greater hardware flexibility.

You should've started a 2nd thread, changing the thread title to ask a new question is quite confusing.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Ok i created a new one.

You need to put the title of this thread back to what it was.
