well is it worth the money?
I did pay for it and its on the way. I do need 3 more PCs but I really was not ready for them yet.
how big of a PC would you toss in this cab to MAME?
I am planing a 1.2 gig dell PC for this one.

Next time I'd look for something with ram.  It's not exactly expensive, but if you don't have any lying arround you're going to have to track some down and spend a couple extra bucks.  Ram is realy something that should be comming with a pc like that, there's no reason to pull it.
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

That PC is more than enough for that cabinet. I assume you are going with the stock controls? Are you going to use the original black and white monitor, or a color one?

I will change the monitor.
I want color.
I will stay with the stock controls. I think i will toss in USB so when needed I can hook up 2 sidewinder steering wheels. I have 2 ( If I can find out what wife did with power supplies to them )

PC came in today.
wow this thing is strange.
never seen a CPU like this.
fits in a slot like a over size pci slot. bigest honking heat sink I ever saw.
no cpu fan. 2 case fans blow on it
I would take a pic but camera is out of batteries

Yeah, that's an older-style slot 1 P3.  They also made P2's like that.  That RDRAM is pretty expensive.  I have 512mb in a PC of mine, and it cost an arm and a leg (which is why I'm typing so slow... haha).
