    Ya know, I tried to RMA it. I filled out the form on their website and heard NOTHING from them. Which really ticks me off.

    That fact alone causes me to lose a lot of respect for Shuttle as a buisness. I would not buy another, nor would I recommend anyone else do.

    But I am willing to eat the cost of a new mobo because it is kind of my fault it fried, overclocking and messin with voltages.

    I have weighed the pros and cons, and the best/cheapest option for me is to just buy a mobo for the shuttle, since I have all of the parts for a new pc. If I went with anothe brand I would have to get a case, heat sync, fan.

    They have me by the nutz.

    But I just wanted to rant about their RMA thing. Thanks for the reminder Geeky.

    Right. I was just looking at their site the other day and they do sell mobo's for their XPC machines.

    And good luck finding anyone that carries them, mudd. :(

    www.excaliberpc.com was the only place that I know of that did, and they stopped a number of months ago. Ask a local store if they can special order one for you.

    If you think it will fit in your XPC, Shuttle has the FN41 Motherboard for $156. It's also an nf2 board, but I don't know what other differences between it and your SN45

    Thanks for the suggestion mud, I called tech support and asked if any other boards would fit and they said only the sn45 board would work.

    Its crazy, I had no idea these fricken boards were so hard to find. Not even ebay! :mean:

    He also said he didnt know why my rma wasnt recieved and to file another one.

    So I did.. I guess ill have to wait and see.

    Thanks for the suggestions!
