I've decided to spend a little cash on a dedicated PC to sit and run an emmulator for all my arcade / snes / C64 games, and thought I'd get a little advice on what hardware is available.
Obviously this system can be pretty low spec, as it's just going to run an OS + emmulator of vintage hardware.
I guess the requirements are
1.) HDMI - I want to output both video and sound out of HDMI to keep it simple
2.) small / low profile, I don't want or need a massive tower to do this.
3.) low power, I don't need a 6 core beast, I'm guessin a low power mobile processor would suite this setup simple
4.) network card support
5.) cheap/value for money - I'm saying this as the new mac mini's are pretty much perfect for this function (massive overkill but ticks the boxes) so if it comes in more expensive than a mac mini it's a pointless discussion as I can just buy a mac mini.
I've got an old model mac mini but it doesn't have the HDMI output so could use that, so please don't suggest an old core single mac mini as I've already got one.
Very much appreciate your thoughts and views on setups I could use, especially if I can use a low power cpu to keep waste and power usage down.
thanks
