The 9600 has 12 RAM slots and 6 PCI slots, but how much do you need, and what about the "six-slot problem" with 9600 and G3? PowerTowerPro has 12 RAM slots, too, doesn't it? You said 4 before, and I can't imagine that's correct. Some listers have mentioned that a 9600/350 is good enough not to need a G3 upgrade. Cheapest way to go would seem 8500 in a 7500 case, full video if you want to do movies (BTW "pizza box" is a 6100 or LC III). 2 hard drives, CD, floppy in the box, and everything else has to be external, though.
