    It won't take much...other than the PSX part. PS1 emulation is very good, but PS2 emulation is still at a very early stage. If I were to do this project, I would just piece something together from old, outdated machines found by dumpsters, or I might even base it arround a PS2 with freemcboot and a usb hard drive.

    cheers for the response man, yeah im not bothered with the ps2, few ps1 games I'd like to have though, my main concern is having a pc that will run without any lagging, would a normal 2gig machine do or is there any must have parts?
