	The way I would do it is to get a 19" rack-mount case (say 2 or 3
units high) and bolt the motherboard to the bottom of that. Drill some holes,
add a PC PSU and some disks and presto.

	The way to do it with a PC case would be to make one big slot where
all of the PC's existing connector holes are, and poke your Mac cables
through that.

	I think an 840av motherboard is too big for most PC cases (except
the really tall tower ones). A 660av should be fine in any of them, though.

	Yes, but you have the satisfaction af saying "I made that computer
myself. I even wrote some of the operating system!" ;-)
