Is this a good deal on this mame computer?
melarky:
Just found this bare bones kit:

Is that a good deal for all of that? I've been out of the hardware side of computer for too long now and I don't know if the AMD Sempron is good or not.
I have been thinking of just getting a dell cheapo computer for my cab (I see the P4 2.8 computers go for $350 after rebate every once and a while), but is this a better deal? I already have a video card with tv out for my cab, so that's not an issue, but other than that it looks like all I would need is a hard drive and operating system. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for any help.
AlanS17:
Though ought to be fine hardware for the vast majority of MAME games, and the price is fair, too.
Tiger-Heli:
Pretty good price, but I've heard TigerDirect is bad about ever paying rebates. Might want to do a search on it.
Kremmit:
I've been burned on Tiger rebates before.
However, I see on their site they now have a "Rebate Guarantee" program, I guess Tiger will pay you themselves if the original rebate offerers don't cough up. Haven't heard from anybody that's tried it, it's probably too new.
CJK:
Tiger Direct has a fairly sketchy reputation, particularly in the rebates department.
Caveat emptor.
