I can tell you this... I do IT for a living, am very familiar with PC's and tech, and I still bought a turnkey solution from brad. (see attached pic) I didn't want to have to fart around with the tech side, I have a MAME machine I built awhile ago, in its own dedicated cabinet, with a tank stick. And I was constantly fooling with the configuration. Initially I was not a big fan of virtual pinball although it has grown on me. I like the fact it also does the MAME stuff, so we have the classics (pac man, ms. pac man, galaxian, galaga, etc.) to go along with all of our pins. It never fails when people are over here and play pinball they always ask if we have ms. pac man, or pac man. LOL

I love the vertical nature of this machine. Love the small footprint. I do agree though spending too much time flipping on a virtual table the cabinet does tend to wear on your hands and cause some slight discomfort, but that is negligible. We are very happy with this machine. as far as updates go. I do have it connected to my own network here, and it gets the windows and steam updates as needed automatically. we do not use the machine for any kind of internet work whatsoever. only the steam and vpcabs software used to run the games. Have only had one issue where it had a problem with the software, (not due to updates) and I reached out to brad, and support was immediate and top notch!!
