Question about ease of use
Slippyblade:
The biggest problem with the Pi is the power issue. Simply cutting power without a proper shutdown can corrupt the file system. There are various way to fix that, but they require add-ons. Eventually, the add-ons end up costing you more than if you'd just gone with a normal PC.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Pi. But if you are looking for simple ease of use... the Pi is not the answer.
Titchgamer:
Also just to add, make sure you have real good ventilation in the cab.
2 monitors generate lots of heat so you may need to install extra fans etc
Haloman800:
For those who use windows, which version do you prefer? XP/7/10? Also, what method do you use for powering on/off the computer?

If you are going with windows, stick with 7. XP is getting old enough that a LOT of newer hardware won't work with it due to lack of drivers. 7 is stable, well supported/documented and most companies still provide drivers and updates for it.
Titchgamer:
Yeah use 7.
Xp is basicly dead but I have a stripped down speed loading version for certain machines that just run basics like MAME.
As for powering up just cut the 2 wires that go to the PC on switch and extend them to a external switch somewhere.
