    Shuttle SS21T and mATX mobos ?

    Been looking at the Shuttle SS21T

    (google it - can't post URLs yet ;( )

    The spec says the side that the motherboard will screw to is 30cm high and 30cm wide. Will a mATX mobo fit there ?

    No. It's nanoBTX format, which means the motherboards backplate and slots are "back-to-front". Also, there's only room for 2 slots, not the 4 mATX requies. There's a picture here (albeit, very small) of the back of the system.

    Edit: There's a bigger picture here.

    Bummer

    On a second note do you know of a relatively small (around 30cm high x 18 cm wide x 30 cm deep) case that takes mATX motherboards, full size cards and is a tower not a desktop ?

    Have seen the Aspire XQpack and might get it and I've also looked at the Asus T Series but would like a black case :| (picky bugger )

    Yeah that looks quite nice but I wanted something a little bit smaller, might end up going with the Silverstone Sugo or the Aspire Qpack (or w/e it's called )

    The silverstone sugo is very good and looks sweet. The fact that it uses a standard psu is very useful.

    The other 2 cubes that I know of are the: -
    Thermaltake VF1000BWS Lanbox


    AOpen G325 Gaming Cube


    Don;t know whether they are any good, but they give you some more options.

    Theres also the Antec Aria (which is think is discontinued and replaced with a NKS1300) which look ok:

    Others (from scan):

    I think the above 2 can handle full size cards via a riser, but you gave limited space for a cooler as they are so small (may be able to squeeze in a slim line Zalman CPS8000?)
