$20 after rebate barbones - seems like it would make a fine computer for a MAME cab. Just thought I'd pass the link along in case anyone needs it.
Sylentwulf:
Tigerdirect has these a LOT. My opinion - rebates - blech.
I bet if you include rebates you could build one HELLOVA top end computer for around $50 these days. Of course, you'd have to wait 6-12 weeks for your refund to arrive....
JustMichael:
The major problem I see is it still has no cpu, heatsink&fan or even ram. Lots of people would have no idea how to install these themselves.
Sylentwulf:
Well, yeah, but that's what a barebones kit is :)

HOLLY COW ...WHAT A DEAL!
This could possible be the best compter kit for MAME !!
I just built a computer in Jan/Feb using this same case and I paid $40 after rebate for the case, keyboard,mouse, and speakers. No mobo
If you add HD, cpu/fan, memory, cd rom you talking under $200
Anyways here is why I say it is possibly the best computer kit for MAME......This case has 3 switched outlets on the back, so if you hacked the computer on button onto the front of your cab you would be ble to turn on ecverything in your cab with 1 button .
Just my 2 ccents
