I would spend a little more time looking at hyperspin.

You can always strip out the animations and then add them back into when you upgrade to a beefier system. Once you have played around with the HyperTheme utility it's pretty easy.

MaLa is fantastic.  Simple to use, easy to set up, and can look very nice.

Really i am calling on your knowledge for the motherboard, Reading the threads everyone here is far more knowledge than me!

a atom board or something simliar?

Thank you

I am also "new to this" and can't offer any hard experience, but I'm also planning to base my project on an atom board. I feel pretty confident that it's more than capable of running mame, but I'm also completely willing to run an old version of mame to make it so.

Last time I used mame was on a 300MHz machine and it ran just fine. More experienced Mamers might be laughing at my naïveté; maybe it's more processor intensive than I realize. I'll keep my eye on this thread just in case...

xefned:
For what it's worth, I just pulled the newegg trigger and chickened off the atom at the last minute*.

* where 1 minute = the three hours it took to assemble a new order.

In the end I went with the lowest end pentium available and a basic ($64) micro-ATX motherboard.
