Hard drive:
Unless it has something special about it or is corporate type use, scrap it.
The Shuttle X:
if I am guessing at what you are trying to describe they were a compact computer for gaming / lan parties and are indeed a computer. they were termed "shuttle" because you took them wit you when you went somewhere and shuttled them around.
Look inside. they are very tightly packed but you should find the same standard goodies. These parts are worth looking up before scrapping. They require low profile part that is often more expensive and dense. it should contain mid to high grade boards, ram, finger cards / expansion boards, harddrive, ribbon cable, some have cd/dvd drives others do not, iron, etc.
Motherboard:
Unless you buy a new board / CPU combo, many of the better boards all come bare (no CPU / Heatsink). I would not rely on the board being new because it is static wrapped. I repair computers and will commonly put used boards in the static bags for later use if they worked and it was a upgrade. Not saying there is no value if it looks like it is in good shape, you can attempt sale as new but it is helpful to have box and packaging / disks if this were true. You can test it and sell it as used, less money this way but also better saleability due to the fact you can guarantee it to work (list as new-other, used one to test to verify working condition in description.) or just scrap it for what you can get.
hope that helps.
