These "cube PCs" use microATX mobo or even custom mobos. Do
a search for "cube PC" on Google. Also checkout TechTV for
build computer, Yoshi builds and modes these things, has
several articles on the pitfalls.

Shuttle, as I've read, make pretty good cube cases. I would check them out. Try these sites

www.zipzoomfly.co
www.newegg.com

Most of the bare-bones computers out there now, especially the small form
factor (SFF) ones, come with pretty simple instructions, so setting one up
is a no-brainer. You pretty much just plug in the processor, memory and
drives and power it on, there is really not much of a way to do it wrong.
There are a lot of hardware sites out there that discuss building computers,
but most of them I know are for modding or overclocking so they are very
technical and not what you are looking for. Good luck.
