It days that one has a PCIe slot available and doesn't say anything about it having to be a low profile card, so you are probably fine.

Barring that, there are also USB to VGA and USB to DVI adapters which let you add a monitor connected to USB, though those are $100 or so if I recall so you're better off just getting a video card.

Something like that maybe, has enough oomph to it that you could do some gaming with it too, or if not gaming at least will run Vista with all the pretty stuff turned on.

If you get a card, you might want to take the machine with you so they can open it to see if it does require a low profile card or not.
