Can anyone suggest a unit with more than 3 open PCI slots? (& preferably AGP onboard)?

One good way to get more PCI slots is to get a computer that uses an ABIT BH6 motherboard. It has one AGP slot, five PCI slots and two ISA slots. One of the PCI slots is shared with an ISA slot. For a review of the ABIT BH6 see bxboards.pair.com
However, I don't know of any brand name computer manufacturers who use the ABIT BH6 motherboard. If you want a computer with a BH6 motherboard you will have to either build it yourself or get an assembler to build one for you. Clarence has spent a lot of time lately looking for an assembler to build a computer and I bet he can give you a lot of good recommendations.

The ABIT BH6 motherboard has received a lot of good reviews and is very popular with over clockers. If you want more than 5 PCI slots you are looking at server motherboard and they are very pricey.
