Physically SMALLEST computer for MAME?

<< < (3/7) > >>

Mr. Bubblehead:
I remember several years back seeing some all-in-one computers that were the size of a "thick" keyboard, the keyboard was full-size, with all the computer guts underneath - you just plugged in your monitor.  Also it seems that there was a computer that was a "cube" about the size of a couple drive bays, you plugged in your monitor, mouse, and keyboard.  A quick Google search didn't turn up any info on these, though, sorry ???

You're probably thinking of the Cappuccino mini PC.  If you look around I'm sure you can find it much cheaper than that.  I'm pretty sure they were several hundred cheaper when they were brand new.  That was just the first place I found one.

Here's a pic of my ITX-based mame/nes/genesis/etc box and wireless controller.  It has composite and S-video outputs and is pretty handy to take on trips.

have a nose around for Single Board Computers (or SBC)
I use one in my car for satnav / entertainment / solitaire while in traffic jams etc, the dimensions are identical to 3.5" hard drive, it has composite out, and uses a 1ghz PIII cpu.

The whole machine including hard drive, psu, and mini pci lvds video card is around 1.5 times the height of a 3.5" drive and the other dimensions match a 3.5" drive. Dont think it could be made much smaller

Think from memory the manufacturer is Kontron

AOpen's Pandora might make a nice little machine for a small Mame cabinet - supports DVI, S-Video and YPrPb.
