Just thought I'd post this in case anyone here would be interested... (and things tend to get buried on RGP quickly)

Mark is very easy to deal with.  I've already placed my order with him, and I don't even own a P2K yet... (and I stress yet!)

Geez, that's a good deal for a home PC system.   Great price.

And it's still more expensive than just buying a new mobo. This deal doesn't include a computer chassis or an arcade VGA card.

You only need the ArcVGA card if you're going to use the original CRT.  

As for price, it may cost more than a new p2K mobo but it's half the cost if you buy all these parts from the usual suppliers.  For those that are going NuCore (or just want a cheap PC for whatever) it's a hell of a deal.

And the chassis is optional, you can just use a normal cheap case.  It also doesn't include the cost of NuCore either!

Agreed.  Placed an order with him also.  I already have a system for Nucore but his price for the components he's listing is too good to ignore.  I'll be upgrading my home desktop with it.  No point wasting it on a pin though.  lol.

Who cares about arcadevga. Just force X to run at the proper frequency in xorg.conf. Sure you can't see POST, but you don't need to.
