I would spend a little more time looking at hyperspin.
You can always strip out the animations and then add them back into when you upgrade to a beefier system. Once you have played around with the HyperTheme utility it's pretty easy.

MaLa is fantastic. Simple to use, easy to set up, and can look very nice.

Thank you

I am also "new to this" and can't offer any hard experience, but I'm also planning to base my project on an atom board. I feel pretty confident that it's more than capable of running mame, but I'm also completely willing to run an old version of mame to make it so.
Last time I used mame was on a 300MHz machine and it ran just fine. More experienced Mamers might be laughing at my naïveté; maybe it's more processor intensive than I realize. I'll keep my eye on this thread just in case...

For what it's worth, I just pulled the newegg trigger and chickened off the atom at the last minute*.
* where 1 minute = the three hours it took to assemble a new order.
In the end I went with the lowest end pentium available and a basic ($64) micro-ATX motherboard.
