I broke down today and decided my Mini-Mame cab needed more than the Pro-200 I had lying around.
I did decide to make my Pro-200 into a Printserver for the Laserprinter

Anyhow, I just picked up from assorted places on Pricwatch:
1) FIC AMD motherboard - $27.05
2) AMD 1.33Ghz Athlon running the 266 bus....$42.00
3) ATI Radeon 7500 $54.00 (I over did it on the videocard because this PC is also pretty powerful for most modern 3D games as well, never know when you might want to skip mame, plug in a keyboard, and go for a few rounds of Counterstrike against the bots!
Anyways the moral here is technology is damn near practically free. I'd never buy a "mini-PC" system, better to buy quality components and just plug them all together. Even the AMD approved 300 watt power supply was only $12 bucks after shipping.........
That system above, if you factor in the cost of some DDR Ram and a 20 gig HD is still only a couple hundred bucks. its got onboard sound, but I don't think I 'll use it. I have a spare Aureal 3D card lying around thats PCI, SB16 compatible, and frankly is a great card.........
The only problem I have with onboard audio is that it uses CPU cycles to run, you're better off getting a $10 soundcard with a PCI interface and not having to let the processor handle the audio duties.
Onboard video is almost universally = to crap
