Any Links for Really Cheap PCs?
(1/4) > >>
Glaine:
I plan to make a Track & Field cocktail and I'm wanting to find the cheapest deal on a PC to run preatty much just Dos Mame doing T&F. Anyone know a distributor of older Pentium 1/2s? (Will P1  run T&F? My P1 laptop wont...) or any other suggestions. I want to later on make other look-alike cabs and will need more PCs when that time comes. Don't really want to spend very much on em either.

I have a 486 right now that was donated to me, but mame won't run because it says I lack a co-processor.

Just get on ebay and look for pentium 1 machines.  you can usually pick one up for less than $30 ($1 for the pc and $29 for shipping, they always get you on the shipping).

I'm wondering if the version of mame will determine whether or not your P1 can handle running it.  Perhaps try running an earlier version of mame?  Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

if you dont mind refurbs, dell outlet usually have great deals on pc's and laptops. they restock around 20-til every hour and these usually go really quick.  i will mostly buy another comp for my cab through this option.
