What do you guys think of this computer? It's from tigerdirect for 319.00. Should i get it? It's going to be for Mame and Mp3's only. Is the Celeron ok? Do you guys suggest something else that i could get for around that price tag?

eMachines T2682 Cel 2.6/ 256MB / 80GB / CD-RWDrive / DVD-ROM Drive / NIC / Win XP Home / Refurbished Open Box Desktop PC

Well, my 100 mhz laptop plays mp3s just fine, and my 733 mhz laptop plays everything in mame with about ten exceptions, so I would think that would be more than enough.

Think the celeron's are ok?

paigeoliver:

Well, I think Celerons are garbage, but it doesn't matter as that is still more than enough horsepower for mame.

I PERSONALLY think buying/building a brand new computer for Mame is a big waste of money. I have never spent over $100 on a Mame computer myself.

Depends how comfortable you are using DOS. The minimum specs for running WinXP are fairly high equating to $$$.
