The ATX power supply mod is easy. Two wires need to be spliced into to others. Took me like 5 minutes. :)
There's a bit more to it according to the Frankenmac pages:

you can use a PC ATX power supply to power your G4 / Depending on the motherboard you go with, you may be in for alot of extra work. / 'Yikes' and 'Sawtooth' systems can use a PC power supply with a two wire mod. 'Gigabit' and later systems require +28v feeds / You can get around the 28v problem using an extra wallwart power supply. /

The 28v feed is really approx 24v /

/ I recomend a regulated unit. The 28v feed operates some of the power management sections of the motherboard. A surge or undervoltage event can result in random locks, or a system that won't power up. You have been warned.
I've got a couple of spare 30V supplies around - I might decase one and regulate it down to 24-28V. Or I can source a 12-24 stepup and run it off a 12v HD line.
