Title: Grab yourself a MAME/RETRO SFF PC
Post by: Bloodwych on March 01, 2010, 01:28:07 PM

Here is one for the lazy - a pre-installed SFF MAME PC:

Not bad actually if you want a dedicated retro machine. Interesting use of an old PC.

The hard drive is a bit small on that DELL and the software a little questionable on legality, but it looks to be a nice SFF for a dedicated retro machine.

I already have a couple of SFF's - an Aopen and Biostar.

Ok, had a quick read about the small DELL OPTIPLEX SX270 in the MAME auction above. They have a few known problems (heat, PSU) and the possibility of leaking caps, others seem happy with them and these may have been refurbished.

Worth checking out however, if interested.
