How to mod an AGP g4 to fit a QS CPU?

Okay, so I know you can swap in a QS cpu in a DA g4. I've heard about being able to do it on a pci/agp g4 with some heavier mods. Basically, you have to remove the ATA port, but you still have one issue: it will run at the slower bus. Now, I saw a post where somebody said they had fixed this issue, but couldn't find the guide to it anymore. They claimed they had installed a QS cpu in their pci/agp g4 and had it running @ 120mhz bus. So, what I'm wondring is how do you accomplish this? What needs to be done to change the bus speed and such on one of the mentioned macs? Or am I just better off trying to get a digital audio to place the CPU in? The entire reason I want to do this is because I have a dual 1ghz CPU and I really don't want it to goto waste (the quicksilver has a dead PSU).

Perhaps their a way to make an ATX psu work in the QS that I'm not aware of? Regardless I have a hard time letting a machine die for whatever reason especially when it is such a kick ass looking machine.
