I am looking for something that will work, nothing majorly expensive but still functional.

Doddy, you mentioned that you used an Ethernet version of an NVEM board that I mentioned (I mentioned a USB based board). How have you found using this? (I am going to need to either build my own or buy a machine afterwards, so also researching for that).

Would you suggest me using this board for either the isel machine conversion or my own DIY machine? (If so, please send a link to a similar unit - I have found these: )
NVEM Ethernet 1

NVEM Ethernet 2 (cheaper)
