Title: BookPC for sale - great for MAME
Post by: dogbert on April 15, 2003, 11:05:38 am
This is a fully functional PC, in excellent condition, that's smaller than a regular PC with the focus on multimedia & integrating into a TV or AV setup. Works great for playing emulators etc on a TV - hook it up with a PSX to USB connector & you're sorted.

I've been using it as a combination of a "mame box" & a region-free DVD player. It's worked great for playing the arcade classics, NES, Genesis etc.

As it has a built-in ethernet port, it's easy to set it up as a mp3 jukebox etc too.


Note the case size! This is a good bit smaller than your average PC, and is just a little wider than a CD drive + floppy drive put together.

Internally, it's a Micro-ATX size motherboard with a fcpga socket for CPU upgrades, with 2 DIMM sockets that take PC100/PC133 speed RAM. There are no PCI slots.

The system can function horizontally or vertically, and comes with "feet" for standing on its side.

System comes with all manuals/driver disks, PC-Cillin, GAMUT multimedia software + a fully licenced copy of WinDVD. I'll be happy to include a Logitech "multimedia" keyboard + Logitech wheel mouse with the system if needed.

I can take & send some snapshots of the real machine if anyone's interested - it looks identical to those "sample" pics, just with a DVD rom instead of a CDRom.

I'm selling this as it's time for an upgrade to my "main" computer - I'll be sorry to see it go, it's served me well for playing old arcade games. It's in *excellent* condition.

I'm looking for $120 + shipping, and I'd prefer to sell only in the US to keep the process simple.

This is still for sale if anyone's interested?

I'd be happy to swap for something interesting PC partwise, particularly involving PC2700 RAM...
