Ah.. What it is to be wealthy, well, in PC's that is.. Have built my CNC router for the princely sum of £400 all in.. Laptop was from freecycle so can't be sniffed at.. I did change the format of Windows 2000 from laptop mode to that of a desktop pc, bit fiddly as some of the drivers were not the same but it seems to work fine and does the job well enough for me at this stage..
If I can make a bob or 2 with it I will upgrade everything as I go along but am happy enough with it as I think I have a lot of learning to do what with software and all that..

Will post some pics when I have finished a bit of tweaking..
Thanks for all your help..!
