A question about using a PC for my MAME cabinet

<< < (5/17) > >>

elkameleon:
The reason I didnt even recommend something like a Pentium 4 is that unless you have one laying around (like I do) you are gonna be hard pressed to find for as cheap as you could get a current processor, it just makes no sense when you are buying new.

fallacy:
Even though a Pentium 4 works it's not very pleasant experience.

Okay, well in that case, I'll go for a Dell and install a Pentium i3 processor. Is that possible?

You're probably better off just buying it the way you want.

Check out the refurb inventory at dell:

One of the Inspiron 570's for $270 would be enough if you just plan to run MAME and play the 80's and 90's game.

The warranty on the refurbs is 1yr.

ArcadeSeeker962:
Okay, thank you. I'll just go for a Dell computer, since that's what my father said we'll use for the MAME cabinet.
