If your machine is really outdated, don't bother upgrading. Upgrading an older Baby AT to a modern ATX design means replacing not just the mobo and the cpu, but also the power supply, keyboard, and mouse. In many cases, it's simpler buying a new system and plugging your old monitor into it - and sometimes it's cost effective to buy a new monitor!

With prices the way they are, there's really no reason to have anything less than a 17" monitor.
