Hi everyone. I'm thinking about putting together an inexpensive computer that I plan to use for two mainly two things. One is for retro console game emulation like Mame. The other is for Amiga emulation. Here's what I already have that I may or may not use:
X-Arcade gaming stick
PCI Catweasel board and 3.5" floppy drive
LCD monitor
I could use a Raspberry Pi. Or I could maybe use a Mini or Pico-ITX type solution so I could use windows. I'm mainly looking for a cool case, something small with a retro feel that I could easily throw in a suitcase and take back to south america with me, with maybe an SD card or small SSD as a hard drive.
I'd love to get one of these Ami-ITX boards. But I think they'll be cost-prohibitive. And I need to get it within the next month. And real Amiga hardware will be too expensive, big, and heavy to take back with me.
Does anyone already have a nice setup like this? Or any ideas?
Edit: I attached a picture of an old computer case I found on the internet somewhere. This would be just about perfect with a mini itx motherboard. (If a mini-itx motherboard with a PCI slot exists)
