I'd say go for it if cheap, and even consider modding the 9500 guts into an ATX case - could be fun!  The 9500 case really is that cheap and flimsy and will drive you insane if you need to work on it often.  I'd also consider the weaker 9500 PSU to be taxed with six PCI slots filled.  The 9600 you can just chuck it all in and be assured the rugged PSU can handle it.

Think of the 9600 motherboard as being more refined, probably able to handle higher bus speeds (if you have a G3 card that lets you adjust the bus) and I'd still bet slightly faster overall stock for stock config.
