Fix-it Felix Machine

What are the specs on the PC inside it? I imagine it wouldn't be very resource-heavy, especially if it's designed to only play one coin-op game.

Probably not that high, as you can build a PC that runs Bemani games that require little to no lag in order to play properly for like $150. The only exceptions would be Pop'n Music which needs a beefed up Graphics card to run properly and the Gitadora series which now runs off of Windows 7 (while everything else runs off of WindowsXP)

So you could probably build a computer using the cheapest parts you could find and be ok, but thats dependent if it runs off of a computer or an actual IO Board. If you have an actual IO Board I'd actually suggest to find a way to emulate it instead because a lot of time if the IO board goes it's hella expensive to replace, and with some, it's damn near impossible to.


Also arcade machines can end up pretty much anywhere, like Brendan bought his IIDX Machine and is a private owner, however at the same auction, someone bought a BeatmaniaIII machine and put it in a Laundrymat, it is now in a Private collector's hands.

Also sometimes, a Private collector might just try to find an arcade or store to put their machine for public use.
