bonsai trees?

I need a kind of tree that does well indoors, is fairly easy to grow, and does well in southern missouri (zone 6?), i heard about a "mt. fuji tree of a thousand stars" or somthing like that and was wondering if that was a good one, or maybe a kingsville boxwood?
it would be nice if the tree was under 3 feet. but any help or advice would be really great.
my room is very sunny (4 windows on east side 2 on both South and North side of room) but my room gets very cold in the winter sense its a old farm house. and i'm good with plants so i'm not that much of a novice, i just haven't tried growing bonsai trees before.
it would be nice if it was fast growing, but it doesn't have to be.

Hi, I have been growing little trees for years now. I find the Ficus Benjamina grows great indoors. It needs some sun and dose not need winter temperature changes like allot of other trees. You can pickup a ficus relatively cheap almost anywhere they sell plants. I have seen some at Walmart for under 10$. I live in CA and have plenty of indoor sun and keep indoor temps between 65 and 70. The plants grow great and fast. If you keep it trimmed it wont get over 3 foot.
Hope this helps.
