Simpler.  Just the drive AFAIK

What are the options I have for installing hard drives on this  
machine?  Will I need anything in particular to make modern, larger  
hard drives work with it?

It should have 3 drive spots on the bottom and you can put one under the 
optical drive for four drives total.  You can also purchase a drive sled that 
make 
it so you can put four on the bottom.  Im not sure about any limitations it 
may have though, such as drive size limit.

What video cards are excellent choices for upgrade in particular?   
What kind of card does it use: PCI of AGP?

AFAIK, the best card for your PCI slot is the Radeon 9200 128MB.

Which of the ZIF upgrades is worth my attention?  Do any of them have  
any bugs/issues?

Not really sure.  But the ZIF upgrades are more expensive than the upgrades 
for the AGP G4s.  If youre interested in swapping to a better motherboard, 
which has cheaper and faster CPU upgrades available, as well as AGP, let me 
know.  
I can guide you through it.  For about the same price as a 500MHz G4 ZIF you 
could probably get a 500MHz G4 motherboard.
