The problem there is price. My power draw is around 50 watts. I use
an older Shuttle SK41G PC, about the size of a lunchbox, which easily
sits inside just about any arcade cabinet.. thus allowing you to still
have a case for supporting cards. I was able to gather the whole
vectormame hardware sans ZVG card for less than $100 from ebay
purchases. Maybe I got lucky.
