Is there a Windows alternative (or something similar) to the Apple Mac Pro coming out in December? I need a desktop with a small form factor and the ability to connect at least 3 monitors to the video card (not integrated graphics). Small desktops that have user replaceable video cards are also great because I can switch the video card to one with 3 ports. Quad core or higher is preferred. The reason I need such a computer is because I do some intense gaming and video editing, need three monitors, and need to carry this thing with me in a bag twice a week. Most people jump to the conclusion of a laptop, but that will not work because desktop and laptop components are very different, but that's a completely different discussion. Price is not an issue, and i am open to suggestions. Thanks.

You could go with something along these lines, the EVGA Hadron is pretty compact, 12x12x6, and will support a full size GPU. It comes with a 500 watt gold rated PSU, which should be enough for everything, but I wouldn't do any overclocking without upgrading the PSU. I do not know of any other SFF PSUs that are > 500 watts, but I have seen a lot of high end builds with this case and PSU over at OCN.net and they seem to work well.
