Virtual Pin

Howard_Casto:
They aren't terrible, they just aren't real pinball.  I'm kind of 50/50 on it.  Virtual pinball can be fun, but not as fun as an arcade cabinet.... I wouldn't put a lot of money into them. 

For the record, the only three pins that ever held my attention more than just your average novelty were Star Trek TNG, Addams Family, and Twilight Zone.  Unfortunately I have very good taste because they are probably the most popular pins out there and cost a small fortune.  So for a guy like me virtual pinball is probably as good as I can afford.

I really have no interest in building a virtual pinball machine. I am like you. I love pinball, but I don't love the pinball prices.

Malenko:
$2500 and you get an i3 CPU ? No mention of RAM (type or amount) most importantly, no mention of video card either.   I'll echo my previous statement, try before you buy. He has the PF TV angled the wrong direction  :dunno

Thanks for the reply... you are right, I should try to find one to play to see if I like it. I understand not all pins are 4-8k but the ones I really like are. Specifically my fav is Creature from the Black Lagoon. Just looking at Craigslist today everything was over $3k with the exception of a $1900 F-14 Tomcat.

I guess my other issue is space. Generally Malenko how tall are Pinball Machines. I have to be below 72". Could you measure yours and see if there is a general height?

as you can see in my photo below I have an air duct I have to account for...

Malenko:
all of mine are varied in height, LW3 is the tallest even without the pinball topper (the police light); I'd be happy to measure when I get home.
