Or, I built it into an NES PC. no one saw this coming, right?
1.66ghz atom dual core, 1gb of ram (can do 2!), 80gb sata drive. has wifi, gigabit lan, external power brick. it's designed to be fanless, but i don't trust it so i slapped an old amd cpu fan on it. a bit louder, but not too bad. it also has HDMI out.
tomorrow i'll install the OS and prep it for mame. this will server as a portable media station for the bedroom, and also as an emulator system
i resoldered the power and reset buttons to PC connections, and i wired up the factory LED to work! and it does!
