You wait till you inherit a large sum from a rich relative and buy a Magma
expansion chassis with up to 13 PCI slots. Seriously -- Apple aren't making
the sort of pro-oriented towers they used to make before the G3 with 2 PCI
bridges and six slots (9600 etc). 

This is part of the rationalisation that Stevo delivered when he returned
to the roost -- just a few models with wide appeal. When he's gone out on a
limb it has been with something even less practical for our sort of Apps --
the Cube. The fact that you cannot even order as an option a bigger case
and a mobo with more slots should tell you plenty about Apple and the pro
market.
