If you have an ATX motherboard, I dont know if it will fit into a small, small case :( You will need to invest in new components. So you may as well get the shuttle :)

A full-ATX motherboard won't fit into a "tiny" case -- the smallest ATX towers I know of are still about 16.75" tall (for example Inwin IW-J523N). A micro-ATX case is smaller (Inwin's IW-V523P tower is 14" tall) but requires a micro-ATX motherboard.

So if you want small, you might as well get a Shuttle.

i think via has an itx format or something like that but you might as well get the shuttle since its a complete solution. they thought of everything so you don't have to.

I posted about this once before but I think you will get a laugh.
I sold a ATX motherboard to a fellow and the next day he called and said the MB would not boot, I went over to his house and he had a Mini Tower case, I looked in the case wondering how he got it in there, he simply sawed off the isa end of the board because he did not have any ISA devices anyway.
