Well, another way around it is to get a US motherboard as well -
hopefully in the same order to save on shipping :-) Of course, you'd
need an NTSC capable display as well.

This is how I run my IIe by the way - it was necessary for a couple of
reasons: 60Hz video is much nicer than 50Hz in RGB, and I really
wanted to be able to use slot 3 for other purposes.
