will a shuttle MOBO fit in anyother case

My shuttle PSU is really getting too hot and overheats a lot, so i was windering if anyone has every replaced the fan in it. Seems easy, i think its a 50-60mm fan, the only hard part is that i would need to cut the wires and re-tie them.

That no proble.
Cut them ,strip the ends, tie together and wrap them in a little electrical tape.
If you have the PSU open then you'd want to blow out all the dust in there thats making it overheat.

Or if you want it more pro looking, you could cut the wires and either use a butt splicers with some HST. ive done it in mulitple over computers and it looks factory. cept for the cutting the wires part,

or if you have the room, increase the size of your fan. just a thought though.

OR you can mod a 300 watt PSU in there....look at our own Insomniac's G-BOX for a rough Idea....
