PSA: Stop using Raspberry Pis; they're not fast enough for MAME
LightningBolt:
How well does it run 3d games like tekken 3

Dude, that's like $450 bucks shipped to my door and I still need an OS.

Linux is FREE. Needing an OS should not be a factor in price.

OP didn't say "If you want a small form factor, that runs Linux, get an i5 NUC".
I get it, your a web developer, some of us are just everyday dullards who buy retail versions of Windows at Best Buy. So, no, your wrong, I will keep the OS as part of my cost thank you very much...

Ubuntu is just as easy to set up as winblows. Throw your money away. I don't care.

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/02/linux-on-the-nuc-using-ubuntu-mint-fedora-and-the-steamos-beta/ oh yeah...just straight up plug and play...not :dunno.
This is my position (devil on shoulder is yelling "Stop it, your wasting your time", but anyway), if I am going to spend $450 for a NUC (actually, it now looks like more than that as I live in Canada, so that makes it $550), then I am simply going to install windows and then install any piece of software or program my heart desires without jumping through hoops and enjoy it. That's if I was going to use a NUC to play "Pac Man", but I wouldn't do that, cause I'm not a doorknob, I would just use the Pi for $50 and be happy.
Now, if I wanted to play the latest version of MAME with all the bells and whistles and Hyperspin, then I probably still wouldn't use a NUC, I would piece together my own Mini-ITX for a reasonable price and play whatever the hell I wanted.
I always love the Apple and Windows haters...just too cool for mainstream :laugh2:
I am not the OP BTW...
