Old Shuttle - New Motherboard (?)

[liquidfluidity]

I'm looking at one of these cases and am wondering if I can upgrade the mobo to something with a P35 chipset. The model is - cf-s768 e-cube. I appears to be extremely similar to a Fragbox.

I believe that was the original Fragbox, prior to them using the Silverstone chassis. From the looks of it this might be the closest thing that you can get. I have seen it cheaper, but it is usually around $200-250. Could always try to find an AMD mini itx with PCI-E x 16.

Are you sure it's a Shuttle barebone? I've never seen one with that model number.

I missed a word when reading the listing. It says "Shuttle like". Here's a link to what it is:

Sure would be nice if it would fit a mATX board. Where's a good place to find out some specific details about the Fragbox? Maybe I can compare. Thanks for the link.

Ok , I actually did some more investigating and found that they use a mini itx board. How reliable are they? Any specific brands to stay away from?

Does anyone know where I might buy one of those handles separately? I might use one in a case mod..

As far as I know you can't. The system was sold as a barebones like Shuttles are and was the basis of the Fragbox 1.
