I fully agree.
I am a great fan of these old Office boxes from the big brands.
These include Compaq, HP, IBM, Dell and Fujitsu (-Siemens).
Sure they often use non generic parts but on the other hand they run rock solid for years.
I used an old Deskpro SFF PIII for years as a linux fileserver.
My actual daily driver is a HP z230 SFF while my actual gaming box is a a Z440 (was a Z800 before).
DP2000, 4000 and 6000 are nice retro boxes no matter as as a tower, desktop or SFF-Desktop.
Combining the onboard graphics with a Voodo make them perfect for win9x gaming too.
Some 4000/6000 even had an AGP but used this special double wide half hight bracket.
Just trying to get such a board replaced in my PWS5000.
