Connect components? Sure.
Make a motherboard, no.

No custom PCBs or breadboard circuits even?

That is different from a motherboard

Well, "motherboard" technically only means a board into which you plug other components. We are used to thinking of PC ATX (and mATX, uITX, EATX, XL-ATX and so on, and so forth) as motherboards, and of course that is the proper term, but it has a wider meaning.

A custom PCB or breadboard could be made into motherboards. Likely not into PC motherboards of course.

Wasn't aware of the wider meaning. Thanks
