Are there any small P4 motherboards that will fit in this very small case?

My grandmother is giving my a Gateway computer with a 667mhz celeron processor. It is in a VERY small case - here's a pic: http://www.gateway.com/support/product/components/cases/3500739/3500739tc.shtml I really like the design of the case - it's nice, small, and compact. I want to try and upgrade it to something newer, with an AGP slot, so that I can make it into a small gaming machine. But, my dilemma is that the case only has two expansion card slots in back of the case. So, are there any P4 boards out there with only and APG slot and 1 PCI slot? If not, are there any motherboards like this, that exist? Thanks! 🙂
 
The p4s333-fx looks good, but it's got one too many PCI slots, So I don't know if it will fit to where I can utilize the AGP slot. I'm beginning to think this might be impossible 🙁
 
I don't think that there are anyFlexATX motherboards that have an AGP slot. Besides, the case utilizes a low profile form factor and I think the best video card available that is low profile is a TNT2. IMO this case will not make a good gaming rig. But if you insist I believe the motherboard that Shuttle is using in their SS50 Barebones will fit in that case. It dosen't have an AGP slot, but I think the SiS315 graphics chip is very competative for an integrated solution.
 
How about going Athlon way? You can get Abit NV7m which is microATX board with nForce chipset, integrated nVidia graphics on a level of GF2MX, sound with spdif out, lan.
You still have AGP and three PCI for some future upgrades. It's cheap ($121), suports DDR and cheaper CPU.
BTW, case description you have link to shows only 90W PS. It might be not enough for new Athlon or P4 system.
 
Alright, I have pretty much givin up on the idea of getting a P4 for this board. Now, are there ANY motherboard out there with 1 AGP slot and just 1 PCI slot?
