My two cents worth. I run Mach3 with windows7 and sheetcam for the post processor and the stand alone mini tower computer. The computer was a ex school one and has been fine since 2013, most of the problems have been operator error, but in the last 5 years at least the computer has been fine. The files (G code) gets to the cnc control computer only via memory stick so there is no way of any unwanted stuff getting onto that computer. Also as a result of this computer only running cnc stuff it starts up quite fast.
The newer versions of the controllers from the mob that I have used (candcnc) now use Linux, which they claim is much faster in processing and all actions are done in real time (I have not gone into that). Anyway when it works it works just fine
