That should be fine...  I'd add a bigger HDD so you can add PSX ISOs to the mix without worry of running out of space.  You should be able to get a 200 or so gig for not much more than the 80gb.

If you're going to have an optical drive, get a cheap DVD burner...  Then you can ghost the drive to DVDs after you get everything configured the way you want it, and after any later upgrades.

Ninja Supremacist:

You can probably get a good motherboard for about $50 less.  Check newegg or gameve (they changed their name.)  Newegg is Caesar's wife--they haven't screwed up yet with me.  Gameve is more of a tricky situation.  I don't know if their stuff is stolen or what.  Outstanding prices, horrible service.  Caveat empor.

For a little perspective, my Athlon64 motherboard from Chaintech (znf-150) was $70.  It's a rocket and runs anything.  Full setting KOTOR is the best test.  If you stay out of 64 bit, you can do much better than tiger.

Any reason to add 512MB of memory as opposed to just 256?  Remember I am ONLY doing MAME.  Thanks!
