evil's dream world

anyone ever try out one of these? http://www.sherline.com/

small, cheap, supposedly precise and well-built. you just couldn't make full cover blocks... but you could make CPU blocks all day.

Those look interesting but the way that site is put together makes me hesitant. It feels very small time, and I'd worry about the quality of the product. Of course, it could be an awesome product as well, so who knows.

Edit: Looking at the CNC option, it still looks like about ~$1000 for the bare minimum kit, and probably will endup with another ~$1000 worth of parts and accessories on top of that. Still, ~$2000 is a lot better than you'd pay for just about any other CNC system.
