Are you intending to take out all the G5 parts and replace them with your own PC components? the easiest way to mount your motherboard in the G5 case would be to buy a donor case something cheap with a removable Motherboard tray. Strip out the G5 and dremel out the hole in the back of the G5 to accurately fit the donor try and rear PCI/IO panel. Use pot rivets to secure and go from there.
