Hey - I am in the process of getting my basic stuff together as well!
I am struggling with what computer/ components I need to get. Definitely open on what to get and cost.....
I got roms etc on disks for both vp and fp ready to install.
I bot lcds from geeks.com for 2 of my arcade cabinets but about ready to use those for a virtual pin.
I keep looking at various layouts - not sure if I want to try and build a cabinet or get a donor....
