The Pentium Pro isn't just a supercharged Pentium, it has a different pinout 
and requires a different chipset to work, so it usually comes with a (Intel 
Aurora IIRC) motherboard. As time goes on no doubt third party 
motherboards and chipsets will appear RAM is just the usual 72pin SIMMs 
(albeit appropriately rated for speed and with optional fancy access modes). 
Cases are more a matter of personal preference as to size. Don't expect to 
get any bargain prices on PPros just yet.

I hope you are running a 32 bit system or else the PPro won't exactly be at 
it's best (without re-compiling anyway).
