A question about using a PC for my MAME cabinet

'Tower' just signifies the case that the PC comes in. Most times people refer to 'tower' to include the entire desktop PC case and all the components inside it.

It does not signify age.

Okay, thank you for clearing that up for me.

Thank you for recommending a good PC. I've been putting together all the advice from all the threads I have made, so that I can finalize my plans. Then, me and my father are going to sit down and discuss the advice that has been given to me to finalize the plans. When I'll be buying the used PC is unknown, but I'm guessing it'll be in the winter time, because the process to the assembly of my cabinet will be a step-by-step project.

Yes, get the cab done first. Do NOT drop the PC in until the very last moment.

If you dont wait and make it playable too early, you will never finish it.

I agree as well. I'll keep updating my thread and reading Project Arcade Version 2 as well, to make sure I have all the information I need to build the cabinet. After the cabinet will come the assembly of the control panel, and then the old PC will be the last step.
