Really? Not sure where you're coming from, there. I built a PC for myself and used all 5 PCI slots, 3 CD bays, 3 hard drive bays, and a floppy drive bay.
One thing that offends me about the Power Macintosh's right now is that there is only 1 CD bay and 3 PCI ports. I mean, 1 CD drive? With optical media standards changing as fast as they have in the past 3 years, you will need to upgrade and then what? Throw out the old drive?
