You can do that for way less than $600. Do you need a case for the computer? Do you already have a motherboard and processor? |
| Shieldwolf:
no mother board no processor sorry I'm really worried about not having a case for the simple fact that I will have to move this cab out some day |
| AlanS17:
If you're starting from scratch and want something cheap, check the AMD offerings from ezbpc on Ebay. They seem like a good starting point. They're barebones systems, but good prices. |

Also, I find shuttle makes good cheap motherboards. I saw one, can't remember the model :( but it had 8x agp slot and supported up to a p4 2.4 cpu for only 60 bucks. Seemed like a good deal. Good luck :D |

Why do you need a CD ROM drive? That's just extra expense if you ask me. Is this your only computer? If not just grab yourself a USB drive and transfer new files on to your MAME computer like that. It's just drag and drop and it means you can download big files using ADSL or broadband on another computer on to your USB drive and then Bob's your uncle. Doesn't anyone else do this? |
