cheap dual core pc
LLUncoolJ:
I have a few parts, but I will need to buy a hard drive. I already plan on buying a fat video card for this project. I'm sure I have a keyboard and mouse laying around somewhere. I'll have to get my hands on a copy of XP too.
CCM:
hmmm, dual core processor, 2 gig memory, hard drive, fat video card, XP, case, power supply... for $150? That may be tough to pull off
LLUncoolJ:
I'm not really counting the video card in that figure, I know I'm gonna have to add that on. I bought my MAME computer from an outfit on Ebay called 2nd Turn. It was actually a better machine than they advertised. I may give them a look. They have a few that are currently really cheap because they have beat up cases. I may throw the case away anyway being that space will be at a premium on this project.
Ginsu Victim:
For MAME the case doesn't really matter much. I don't even have mine in a case at all.

Agreed. This is a dedicated future pinball cabinet, but same concept (except driving 2 different displays).
