depending on what youa re wanting toplay... most of this may be overkill. is this a cabinet/emulator system or.... need more info to gauge clearly. |

Unless you plan on playing PC games - this is alot of firepower. If you plan on playing PC games all bets are off. If you just plan on playing some mame games - you might as well get the loss leader pc at Dell for $400. Thats what I did. Your mileage may vary |

where do you live? i no longer purchase new stuff for my mame creations. there is an abundance of used computers that people are getting rid of where I live (san jose ca) try craiglist.com for used computer stuff. i found some great deals for used stuff. i just picked up 4 computers for 20 bucks. as far as your specs- sounds awesome(and expensive). I'm sure it will be a fast rig. I'd love to be typing on what you listed. ps. i've found that there is a performance ceiling that most people can't sense around the 2ghz. I have a 1 ghz, 2.4 and 3 ghz pentium machines and it is hard to notice the difference on non gaming usage. I also got tired of shelling out hundreds of dollars for the latest and greatest only to be trumped in 6 months by a faster and cheaper chipset. so now i don't play that game. |

Another idea is an obsolete model of Compaq/Hp/Dell, etc. Here in Australia you can sometimes pick up a discontinued model brand new in box cheaply. The specs arent the latest and greatest but the price is right! |
