Hard drive space required for arcade?
Malenko:
PSX is a huge variable, the games range from 1-650MBs
mame and CHDs is like 70 GBs
SNES is like 3 GB
genesis 4GB
get a 500GB just to be safe?

Trust me, you will consume disk space quickly. Of course, "it depends" is really the correct answer, but buy the largest you can afford and your options will be greater. I do agree that 200 Gb is a good starting point to give you a really good variety.

I was just pointing out the other extreme for anyone who had to work with what was available. Especially if you're using an old P2 or P3 which can't run the higher end stuff anyway. Just sayin'.
