The computer is a little yikes - because parts from the board set are not possible to find unless you have deep pockets. They did have a replacement that got pulled from the market. I will say this about the two I had - the CPU went out on one, but I was able to get it repaired for next to nothing, as it was a simple issue with dead caps. I found the game to be extremely reliable and parts were not hard to get. If you lose a board, you are out some fun but the failure rate does not seem to be overwhelming.
