Congrats on the baby boy. :cheers: For him why not do a Donkey Kong mini, the color is right. ;)

Thanks everyone! He has been great so far! The project is sort of kind of on hold for a little bit until I get used to my new schedule with the baby and everything. I will be sneaking some work in on it when I can though. Right now I think I'm going to be buying a new computer. I don't want to but I also don't think I will get things looking right with what I've got. I need a new video card and motherboard at a minimum so I figure why not go all out... plus, it will give me something to do this week when the kids are napping since I'm off from work.
Anyway, I posted this over in the main forum but maybe I'd get some more help here. I'd like to hear from people who know more than I do before I actually pull the trigger. The only thing I care about is outputting to a 4:5 (vertical) monitor and that the picture will stretch to the edges. I have a Dell 197 LCD. I guess I'll also be putting some horizontal games on Bella's cab as long as they aren't too small or anything on the vertical monitor (and are playable with a joystick and 3 buttons or less).
Here goes:
Power Supply/Case
Video Card
Memory
Motherboard
Processor
Hard Drive
The total is under $300 shipped.
Thanks!! :cheers:

It seems like a good PC build for your purposes, I would check some online reviews of the parts you are purchasing though. Also, the Mobo has on board video it seems, why not find a similar one without it or else ditch the video card?
theCoder:
That's a lot of computer for under $300. The hard drive is a bit small, but as long as you have the room to install another one later you should be fine.
Congratulations on your newborn son.
