jennifer:
       I am a bit curious here... But while building a computer [ dedicated ] wouldnt it be best to disable the satalite updates feature.
And if so is this done @ the board?

Looking at newegg the best deal is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883155220 

I think it is great on two fronts.  One you get a capable computer for emulation, the other is recycling older technology for the benefit of the planet.

The rest other than screen is BYOAC.   :cheers:

40GB hard drive is still extremely limiting.

Personally I'd spend another $200 and build something new, but I enjoy building stuff.
It's why I can't stop this addiction hobby.

Thats pretty much what I'm using now to run Mame. I recycled an old computer I've had laying around. The whole point of this thread is I want to try and build a computer. But before I spend big bucks building a dream machine I thought I would start small and cheap... if that makes any sense.

ark_ader:
If you are getting your A+ and you want a good lab PC then I would stay away from HP gear.

If it is just a PC for Mame, then the one I quoted for is the cheapest you can get, and you can take it apart and put it back together again to your heart or A+ manual's desire.


Just make sure you wear gloves as the insides can be quite sharp!
