Minimum Computer Requirements
I looked up the specs for Candle https://github.com/Denvi/Candle says it will run on very minimum hardware. Windows/Linux x86, CPU with SSE2 instruction set support, Graphics card with OpenGL 2.0 support, 120 MB free storage space.

can someone help me identify what type of machine this is?
The sainsmart getting started guide is decent enough, worth checking out. I'm pro usb-ing it to a computer (Raspberry pi w/ a touchscreen in my case) & using Candle to drive it, and fusion 360 to generate toolpaths (.nc) files for it. The sainsmart guide covers all that mostly.

How much time does it take to make PCB and 2d engravings from images?
I used Candle for awhile (https://github.com/Denvi/Candle). Mach 4 can do it, but I haven't tried with a PCB.

Impulse bought a CNC Machine, Plz Send help
Personally in my setup I use Fusion360 for CAD, CAM and POST, sometimes on complicated/organic models I do the CAD in Blender instead and just import it into Fusion for the CAM/POST, and for a sender I use a little app called Candle (picked it because it had some nice utilities for etching out PCBs which is how I got into CNC), but there's plenty options out there.

Esp8266 pulse counter. Milled PCB.
I am using pcb2gcode for generating my files for the engraver. https://github.com/pcb2gcode/pcb2gcodeGUI . For commanding the mill I am using Candle. https://github.com/Denvi/Candle . This works very nicely.

Cannot figure out why Universal GCode Sender won't connect to my Arduino Mega 2560. Any idea what's wrong?? Details in comments
I just tried with GRBL-mega from the link below and it connected without any problems: https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega/releases/tag/v1.1f.20170802

Arduino 2560 can’t upload Grbl
are you uploading normal grbl or grbl for arduino 2560? https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega

Grbl on Creality 8Bit Board
You could use https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega or https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X And you need to know the pin usage of your board, to setup the config.h file

I need some help programming grbl.
Specifically, I am using grbl-mega and a ramps board "because it's what I have on me" and need to modify the code a little to operate a laser and I can't even get the Arduino ide to compile stock grbl, and had to use xloader and a precompiled version of grbl. If someone can either make me or tell me how to make a .hex file with this modified code I would really appreciate it. Here is the information you will need to understand where to put the code, just scroll to the post with the code written on it.https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega/issues/55 and here are the grbl-mega files.https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega

Pen plotter
Probably yes, it seems to use a Mega 2560, so you could use https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega or https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X

Beginner: 4 axis stepper motor help
Alternative is (and you still need limit switches) is load the mega with some form of GRBL. This makes your mega into a CNC machine which is entirely co-ordinate based and you control the movement with GCODE.

Could I use a RAMPS 1.4 3D printer controller board for a CNC mill with GRBL?
Next is to download the grbl branch you want:Just 3 axis: https://github.com/gnea/grbl-Megaor up to 5 or 6 axis: https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X
