"What type of PC should I use" is one of the most frequently asked questions here and there are dozens & dozens of threads discussing your PC related questions.
If you try and fail people will help you but at least try first.

Thanks for your suggestion, I already have searched this and other mame sites and they all seem to be putting the oldest computers in the world in thier CABS and running slimmed down versions of windows 98 or dos and old versions of mame. I was asking what the line is or if there was one on speed of the computer for the new games (apparently the faster the better w/o a limit). There is almost nothing on the web that I could find (granted im not the best with the internet) that related to higher end computers and newer games.
Also if you read my full post you would have seen I had two questions, one on computer speed and one on the material of the UAII cabinet (looked on thier forums, I posted there a week ago and that even today is the most recent activity and no response to their customer service dept by email)
But what noobie thread would be complete without at least one troll stopping by.

Believe it or not, I attempted to help you. Time invested in searching will result in you finding more information than hoping people will answer your question, a question that has been flogged to death here. The fact is if you searched you would already have the answers but hey, treat me as trolling if it makes you feel better.

Buy the plans and build/modify your own UAII. You'll have more fun.
But if you buy the kit, then yes both sides are covered in the black melamine. Not as nice as formica. but meh..... ::)
Try and ger a comp aroun 2Ghz if yer gonna do alotta console emulators and try and play more modern stuff. I plan on using PC games in my cab so I opted for 3Ghz, cause I had access. Save money and get a 2.2G and you'll be fine.
I ALSO SUGGEST THE FAQ pages. not only are they informative, they'll answer most of the early questions and THEYRE JUST PLAIN COOL (sorry for the caps)
Timoe:
Oh yeah, and welcome to the ADDICTION BYOAC boards

Thanks thats exactly the info I was looking for, I can use my old comp for the machine easily enough then :) And Id like to get the plans and mod the UAII cabinet but after looking at the cost of materials and equipment (I would have to buy a router, saw, sawhorses ect to build) Its just easier to get the prebuilt one /shrug.
