Ah hah! That clears it up.
I would drop in a 2x AGP G4 motherboard such as a Sawtooth or GigE board. The CPU modules used on G4s (except the Yikes!) will not work with a B&W motherboard. The 2x AGP boards have three PCI slots and 1 2x AGP slot for a grand total of 4 slots. Which is also conveniently the same number of slots on the case for your B&W.
You might still need the back panel plastics and metal from a G4 to make a seamless fit, though.
Other than that, you should be able to use everything else that was stock on your B&W (even the graphics card). Of course, a 2x AGP card provides a huge improvement over PCI graphics...
I'm also not certain of the power requirements. You may need to do some hacking on the B&W PSU to mate it up to your G4 motherboard, and all G4 motherboards need between 24v and 28v (as alluded to by bunsen) on one pin. You could just drop in a Sawtooth PSU while you're at it, too.
By the time you're done with all this, you'll probably have paid as much as it would have cost to just buy a Sawtooth G4. So I'd actually recommend you do that and just swap the B&W plastics for the grey plastics of the G4.
Peace,
Drew
