Will an A1200 motherboard fit inside an A3000 case?
(I do realise this is a very silly solution...)
Probably not, the 1200 mobo is very long and narrow, while the 3000 is quite boxy in arrangement. Maybe if you were to slice off everything to the right of the accelerator port (i.e. cut off the silicon holding the mouse/joystick ports) then it might but I don't know the dimensions. Also you'd have to figure out how to mount it as the mounting screws will be in completely different places.
N.B. I whole heartedly discourage mutilating A1200s, and if you must try this, try and get ahold of a revision 1D4 or 2B board as the 1D4 boards are missing part of the board anyway (one of the ports just hangs on a cable) and the 2B boards are actually 2 pieces of silicon which look like they can be detached.
