Well, linux people, be happy. You can get an xbox for $399.

146388 2003-05-21 22:17:00 Actually, at that price, it's probably cheap spare parts for a PC.
HD, memory (I assume some standard), and a processor.

146389 2003-05-21 23:15:00 If I didn't already have two Xbox's I'd be tempted to buy one ;) Looking to swap one of my Xbox's for a PS2 to complete the collection (Xbox, PS2, PS1 and PC) honeylaser (814)
146390 2003-05-21 23:42:00 What? no Gamecube or N64? No Gambeboy?
No Sharp GX-10?
No PC built into a space invaders console?
You are but a padawan learner.

That would just be overkill.

The Gamecube is on hold until some decent games come out.
GX-10's (and Vodafone Live) are a waste of money, I'd rather get a Qtek (www.reseller.co.nz).
I have MAME, so don't need a Spacies console. Though there is room in the future to invest in a Spacies or Pinball machine.

You would say that, wouldn't you.

146392 2003-05-22 00:43:00 PS: Robo - you bidding on my polystyrene piece of art on TradeMe? You can email me to negotiate a price if it doesn't hit reserve. Got to get rid of the thing! honeylaser (814)
146393 2003-05-22 01:08:00 That's you?
Funny.
Roll "Small World" music. Knew I should have used another id on trademe.
I don't even know if I need one, have to make a phone call and do some negotiations.

There are rumours of sub-culture of people building an old Pentium PC into a console and running mame on it. Sounds kind of fun.
Mame on the qtek can be fun too.

I will email you.

And perhaps another picture? That tipped me off.

EVERYONE needs one. Except me. And my pokey 1 bdrm flat filled with computers and parts of computers. If I had the room :(

Wonder if it would be possible to get an old spacie machine, rip the guts out of it and insert a PC and find some way to configure the spacie controls to act as a keyboard/mouse, as well as hooking up the screen to act as the monitor. Now THAT would be fun.
