Typically models ending in 00 use the term "hundred", i.e.:
6100: sixty-one hundred

9600: ninety-six hundred

People using the term "thousand" are sometimes, but not always, thought to be inexperienced.

With these PowerMac models I would tend to say "six one hundred" and "nine six hundred". Similarly for a 5200 I would say "five two hundred". Maybe that's just me...
