FWIW the B&W G3 PSU can be swapped for an ATX PSU
with a few simple modifications to an ATX extension
cable and I'm guessing the ATI Rage cards (common
with B&W G3s, IIRC) should be easier to support than
more recent graphics cards.
But I wonder if it isn't smarter, at this stage,
to use a Pegasos, Efika or Sam440 board.
Anything which is reasonably modern, documented, has
serial ports, comes in a standard form-factor (or in
a decent case) and takes current/recent RAM and
peripherals.
The Sam440 has U-boot. (not OpenFirmware)
