Selling a Via Epia MII 1ghz MiniITX motherboard. Unit comes with 512mb ddr1 ram. Great for a small bartop project. Should be able to run most 80's arcade games. Unit comes with a dual pcmcia attachment with compact flash adapter (does not support booting from CF) and one spare pcmcia slot. The board also has built in composite out, great for the old school retro look on classic tube televisions. This board suffers from a design flaw where two capacitors are very very close to the power connector. Plugging in a standard atx power connector pushes on the capacitors. I gently pushed the capacitors back a bit and glued them down to prevent any damage to the caps. Believe it or not these little suckers can even be overclocked using a common windows utility. Looking for just $25 OBO
Next i have a BCM (motherboard manufacturer for industrial use) FX815ELT FlexATX motherboard. Comes with a Pentium III 1ghz processor. This board also supports TV out with an extra cable which i will include along with 384mb of ram. Looking to get a mere $20 OBO
For those interested in the Epia MII, i can also offer a Morex ITX case and power supply. Includes a cd writer/dvd combo laptop drive and windows XP OEM sticker. $20 dollars.
The XP sticker alone is worth the money. This unit will only work with the Via ITX board. FlexATX motherboards are roughly 1/2 inch longer and the board will not clear the internal power supply.
Will entertain offers for arcade parts like new joysticks, buttons etc.
I have a perfect heatware trader rating of 40-0 and regularly BST on other forums under the same name.

Does the VIA have a parallel port?.
Darn... Found the information on the web. It doesn't. :(

unfortunately i sold these about.... 3 years ago.....
And i regret doing so. the little p3 was still a very capable unit for mame 0.106. Arguably the strongest coppermine based unit i tested the old mame builds with.

LOL, I was thinking MAME 36 or 56 :)

believe it or not. i ran a good deal of the 2d games in mame 0.106 with that pentium 3 rig with frameskip on. Probably about 75-80% of the 2d games were playable on it just as long as you kept the resolution down and the frameskip managed . Miss those 2 little units. Always had a fondness for small form factor computers. Saw someone selling one of those newer 64bit via units the other day. Was really tempted to pick it up. :-\
