HTPC mobo

My mobo appears to have blown in my XC cube machine (socket 478). The dimension are smaller than the standard micro ATX in that it's roughly 9" * 7" (normal micro ATX's are a square 9 * 9) so maybe it's a mini ATX or something but not sure. Anyone any ideas on what I might as a replacement ?

I suspect it may have been the processor....I was using a P4 mobile chip.
Either that or I was sold a dud case. Anyway can't get a replacement mobo through Aopen as they no longer stock these cases so may have to buy a new case and build a new system.

THink I'll stick with the xc cube design though as it fits nicely beside the ntl box under the TV.
