I don't even think you could fit a new motherboard in the 2000 chassis.
The 2000 was designed to be an MS-DOS compatible machine, not an IBM PC
compatible machine.  The cabinet is not even layed out in the same
arrangement, expansion cards are mounted horizontally, not vertically, and
they are definitely not PC-Bus compatible.


If you want something which is 100 percent IBM compatible, the 2000 is not
a good place to start.  In its own right it was an impressive machine, but
the importance of IBM compatibility was not recognized when it was
conceived.
