One of them is, the other two are not.  If this is really a concern and
you are junking the case anyway you can get the Ultra 10 "Otter" board for
about $60 direct from Sun, and get 4 PCI slots facing the correct
direction.

In response to the original poster, there are some minor differences
between the original U5/10 ("Darwin") and the updated version ("Darwin+").
Darwin has only 2MB of VRAM (vs 4MB in Darwin+) which limits you to
800x600 in 24bpp mode.  Faster systems also shipped with 50ns RAM instead
of 60ns.
