Hmmmm. Except for the power supply, I don't see any PC hardware inside. Maybe the person has no ---smurfing--- idea of the difference between a PC hard drive and a game board? However, since they're talking about adding a game, it was perhaps a 60-in-1?...except Asteriods ain't on those. Big mystery except that maybe this person got really juked.

Working in IT, I hear this all the time. Hard Drive = Computer...

Pardon the MSPaint, but this is definitely a MAME machine.  I noticed a PC Power supply, VGA cables plugging into a TV, and an outlet strip.  I am sure there are many more examples.  He sent the computer off and doesn't know a hard drive from a from a tower for a PC.

First off, I agree with you there. However, in some cases you will see pc power supplies in arcade rigs, especially if they only require 5 or 12 volts. My basketball game has a pc supply in it that replaced a switcher, probably because the op had one lying around...
