If by 'PII' you mean Pentium 2, i.e a standard PC mobo. And you want to put a G3 or G4 in it? That won't work, mac motherboards and pc motherboards are quite different.

Well you could do that but it's a bit pointless... Also note that you'll have to do lots of strange drilling and things as not all Apple components conform to the standard ATX layouts and stuff. You won't be able to use a standard power supply, either.

Heh heh, that's what I thought when I read the title of the thread.
