No probs dude, always glad to help someone out! 
I personally had a 1-slot and also a 4-slot although I have sold those as I needed the money, but I do intend to build my own MVS setup later on as I want to learn how to do it (and I'm keeping some of my carts like SS2 etc
.
I don't usually play emulators all that seriously as I prefer to play the real thing, but the rig that I currently have setup is a an AMD XP 2000+ with 512 MB RAM and I have 90 gigs of storage space. My current gfx card is a bit sucky, but I am gonna upgrade it in time for Doom 3. The one really great thing however is that this gfx card has a TV out, so I can output all my games/emulators to my 28" Sony TV
I got into Neo stuff really early on, and like you I think my first Neo game was Art of Fighting 1. Funnily enough, years later when I finally got my own MVS setup, AoF was the first MVS cart that I bought! In between then, I used to play all my stuff in the arcades, and back in the early nineties I spent SO much time playing the early Fatal Fury's and Samurai Shodown 1/2, amongst many others, and I had a few of the really crappy ports to other systems from back then.
When the arcades started to die around here I lost touch with Neo stuff for a short time, but then came back into contact with it when the emulators started to come out. God, when I first started using the original DOS version of NeoRageX, it didn't even have sound emulation, that's how long ago it was!
After using emulators for a while and eventually starting up my site in 1999, I decided to get my own setup (as well as a Neo Geo Pocket) as I wanted to have the real thing, and it just kinda snowballed from there. Right now I'm probably more of an Neo Geo/SNK freak than I was back in the early nineties, which is saying something.
Hell, I can even remember being in school in 1992 or thereabouts and arguing with a friend over how much better World Heroes and Fatal Fury were than Street Fighter 2: The World Warriors. Oh the memories!
