WTB: Computer for MAME cabinet (Bellevue, NE, US)
« on: October 05, 2009, 12:18:37 pm »
well, I'm pretty far along with my cabinet, and i had it working and playable to the point where i would be happy with not working on it for the winter( weather here isn't friendly in the winter )

but i hit a snag, the motherboard in the computer i was using died.
fortunately, i've still got all of my data, as the hard drives are still good.
but I was wondering if anyone had a spare computer that they might be willing to sell me.
I don't really want to spend a whole lot of money, but that's all relative to the machine.
I'm fine as long as it can play metal slug 3, but if it can play melty blood, then that's even better.
if necessary, all i REALLY need is the Motherboard, compatible RAM, and the right Processor.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Tigerdirect sells mobo/cpu combos pretty cheap. Sometimes with RAM too.

Bartre, I have a nearly new Dell PowerEdge for sale, which I'll let go at a good price.

I'm in Omaha, so right next to you.

Let me check the specs on it when I get home.
WANTED: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 322, Oakview, CA 93022. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

I'm in Bellevue too. I've got computers from craigslist and there are plenty of p4s that come up for about 50-60$ that should do you fine.

If the pc from Dash doesn't work out let me know.  I have a p4 I could part with.  I'm in Elkhorn and work in Ralston.
