Small form factor is not as good if you want to install an ATI video card and run soft15khz on an arcade monitor.

How about this?

http://www.gearxs.com/computers/HP-Compaq-DC5000-Series-Microtower-PC---Intel-Pentium-4-3.0GHz--1GB-DDR-40GB-HDD-DVD

That looks like it would work. I also found this one, which is kind of similar, but probably a variation of that PC:

Thank you for the warning. I'm actually planning on using a LCD PC monitor for my MAME cabinet. Would that be compatible with the Compaq DC5000? Also, was this the type of video card you mentioned, because I'm not familiar with the term "Mhz".
