FOUR slots?? Could FIVE slots be far behind? Maybe all slots for the 5090...craziness

No. You fail to see the evolution occurring here. 20 years ago, the GPU was a small add-on chip to the computer itself. 20 years from now, it will be the CPU that's the tiny add-on, and the GPU will itself be the main computer .... by which time it'll be performing far more than just "graphics" functions.

I estimate that within a decade, the first graphics cards will appear with integrated PSUs. You'll plug the card itself into the wall, and it'll feed the rest of the system. After that, the writings on the wall.

So, we'll need one mini tower (with its own PSU) for the graphics card, while the rest of the components will go to another mini tower? That's cool. They should make the mini towers in the shape of a train, tram, or a van. Like so: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/amazing-computers--520095456939586118/
