I've read all the FAQ's
Wicked:
I have read all the FAQ's and I understand that it's not supposed to be discussed, but is there a place to LEGALY download Rom's. There was a guy here that modded Xbox's to run MAME and he had all the system games. Nintendo, NEO-GEO, Sega etc..etc..but, since I'm new I don't exactly know how to go about this. so far this is what I'm trying to do.
I would like to build a 4 person cabinet, and these are my computer specs.
Athlon 64 3000+
1 gig Corsair PC 3200
120 gig WD HDD 8mb cache
Chaintec GeForce 600GT 128mb
Asus Nforce4 Ultra motherboard
Antec 550 power supply
Lite-On dvd writer
The final decision is whether to go with the 36" Sony Wega with DVI, or the Wells-Gardner 33" digital monitor thats coming this fall.
Sorry for the long post but, I want to do this correctly the first time since my wife is letting me invest quite a bit of money and space into this project.

There are your legal roms...your computer might be a little overkill though. ;D

2 things
1. You'll need 2-3 times more money than you thought
2. It's easier to get forgiveness than permission

Thanks guys. That computer was my gaming computer from 2 years ago. I have since built 2 realy nice computers one an SLI gaming and the other an HTPC. as far as the cost of the project I have a $3000 budget and of course the majority of that is the tv/monitor. My wife felt that was an adequate budget for the project (as do I ) I install car audio on the side, so I already have the wood, lexan and tools on hand. Does anyone have any input on the tv vs. monitor issue?

I would use an arcade monitor - I think it just looks better and it's also more authentic. That's just me though.
