Do you guys see any problem with that?

Worked for me... also, don't rush to add extra cabinet fans - I've been running temperature logging software on my jamma->mame cab (which has an uncased motherboard) for the last fortnight, and discovered that the CPU (Sempron 2400) runs at a steady 43C, using no cabinet cooling other than the original (passive) convection vents.

For what it's worth you can get a 2.4g cell system from Dell with 512m ram and 80g hard drive for $284 plus tax. It's a refurb but has the same 1 year warranty as new and they have free shipping on refurbs until 4-6-05

I was looking at this system for a cheap MAME box. It might suit your needs, and comes with a 1 year warranty for $200. The RAM is kind of skimpy, but 128 should be enough for MAME.

Thanks for the idea
I looked around in there for a while but everything in my price range at walmart.com is Sempron and 1.5ghz is a bit weak for CHD imo
