Er, no. IIRC pretty much all PB PCs used non-standard motherboards, so
a standard AT will most likely not fit.
Maybe that's true in the UK - isn't PB still sold over there? Back in the
day when PB was still extant here in the US, I replaced probably a couple
hundred motherboards in them and used regular boards available in the
retail channel, not specially ordered replacements from PB.
Ooops, my bad. I've only ever dealt with slimline desktop PBs, which
all had funny mobos. I guess they must have made standard PCs too!
