Title: WTB Mame PC!!!
Post by: GameDork on July 21, 2004, 06:11:49 pm

I ordered my jpac and arcadevga and then I realize my pc I was going to use doesn't have a AGP port for the ArcadeVGA!!! >:( >:(

So, I need a pc that's around 1Gig processor and of course an AGP slot.

No hdd or ram is fine but would like a complete ready to go pc.

I have a Monaco Gp Driving game I could trade. It has a loose connection or something. Game comes up with grass in the road and won't take a credit. Has a good 13" monitor. I would trade this and some $.

I would also just buy outright. have PayPal.

Please post here or Private me, thanks

If you already have the case/HD/RAM then it sounds like all you really need is a mobo/processor combo. You can pick those up online for fairly cheap. Ebay would be a good place to start if you have an account. Otherwise there are plenty of online retailers.

Of course, online retailers won't take a used arcade machine in trade, but you will be getting new parts with a warranty. If you don't want a mega-fast processor, it's going to be all the other parts that make computers expensive.

If you like Ebay, try searching for "cpu combo". you'll come up with some really good hits.

I don't have the case or ram.Although I do have cd drive. I was wanting a complete pc or one with everything excepts drives.

I just said barebones b/c RAM and HDD's are cheap on ebay.

I would prefer compete though.

But thanks for the info.

I have a 900 or 950 Athlon system I'm not using right now.  I had it overclocked over 1gig forever with no problems.  Its got a 40gig hard drive, 8 or 12x cd burner, floppy, Windows XP, generic case, 350watt PSU I think.

If you're interested at all in something like that, PM me or email me at pointdablame AT gmail DOT com and I'll get you exact specs and model numbers.
