Love it!

Thinking of getting a vcab wizard Running out of space in the game room.

I have a maxed out VP Cab. They charge a premium price for sure. But the components they use and build quality are very good. And what you get is Plug in and play as long as you have no intentions of adding tables or updating it.

I got a custom Back to the Future Themed Wizard Model (not sold any more):

I went for midnight blue powder coated trim, legs, and coin box (it's just a metal facade. no real coin mechs)
4k screen (But they had all the software and tables configured for 1080p!)
Laser Cut LED lit topper
RGB Undercab lighting
Strobe lighting in back
i7 cpu instead of an i5
Backup copy of the harddrive

The launcher software and OS is pretty out of date. Which can make adding tables tricky. They actually ask you not to update anything including the OS.

Building and setting up your own virtual cabinet is a ton of work. Great if it's something you want to do. But I bought the VP Cab as a shortcut to buying and piecing together all the hardware. I have no regrets. It's a solid base to expand upon. The sound system (speakers and sub) in this thing are ridiculous (good).

I have owned my VP Cab for just shy of 2 years and spent a considerable amount of time (many man-weeks) reverse engineering, reading, and experimenting.

If you plan to add tables or switch the launcher over to pinup popper, you will be all set hardware wise. But you will need to learn a ton about all the software and configuration. (Look for "Baller Installer" to get a head start.)

Since I have a backup of how they originally had everything, I have taken many liberties and been quite successful at getting mine exactly where I want it:
* Upgraded to Windows 10
* Swapped out the GTX 1060 for an RTX Titan
* Replaced Pinball X launcher with Pinup Popper/Player

I also put the following on it:
* latest Visual Pinball with a handful of tables (Guardians, Ghostbusters, Batman 66, Cuphead, Shovel Knight, Stranger Things Stranger Edition)
* Arcooda and Xbox One Kinect for 3d head tracking support (gives me all the Pinball Arcade tables they made for Arcooda)
* Demons Tilt in cabinet mode
* Zaccaria and all tables
* I add new Zen tables as they release
* Timeshock - cabinet mode
* Pinball Wicked - cabinet mode

Know that if you go crazy making software changes like I did they will not support the stuff you changed from their out of box configuration. They will still honor their hardware warranty though.

Also. I recommend making a full drive backup every time you are successful with a particular change. I cannot exaggerate just how much time a "simple thing" can take. Like enabling 4k took me a week and I had to reconfigure every single app. Setting up all the apps in Popper took about a month of tweaking and tuning. Some things were a matter of reading the docs. Other things are a combination of googling and pure trial and error as the software itself (zen, arcooda, the launcher) is all still works in progress by the developers. So you are like to encounter bugs as well as your own user error.

Still, it can be a fun and rewarding experience.

They are just running Windows. You can plug in a mouse and keyboard and add tables. But it’s not a 5 minute thing.

I’m not entirely sure the vpin has/will save me money in the long run. I keep discovering tables I want to buy.
