Frys/Outpost.com has an awesome deal for a desktop that would be perfest for any MAME cab or workstation.

Hoagie_one:
only has a 250 watt PS.  weak
M3talhead:
Good PSs are inexpensive. Besides, Celeron based machines are not going to be powerhouse gaming rigs. For a dedicated MAME cab, this would be ideal.
SirPeale:
I'm betting this has the motherboard detailed in this thread.

Comes with XP Home, but I'd rather get a system with *no* OS.  Maybe later I'll play the 'how cheap can I make a decent Mame PC" game.
M3talhead:
I played that "game" when I built my first cab. The problem I kept running into was whether or not I wanted to play any CHD or newer PC games, like NFL Blitz or Nebula based roms. If you're wanting to just play 8 and 16 bit games, then that setup is fine. Anything else and you start getting into arguements in your head about "Price vs Performance".

Just decide what you're going to be playing. Strictly MAME? Pre-1998? Then you're fine.
