hmm i guess prices have changed since i got mine,,,
i paid under 1k for the mill, including shipping, liftgate and all...
i paid about 500 for the cncfusion kit, i didnt get the delux, didnt see the need for what i'm doing
i paid around 450 for geckos, around 100 for the psu and used a 25 buck bob
so thats 2075 + tooling, hold downs, coolant system, and software. ofcourse i ended up paying around 750 for my bobcad... oh and dont forget Mach3, wire, solder, screws, a case for the psu and drivers,

oops, forgot motors.. thats important.. i paid around 150 for all 3 of my steppers.

oh, and dont forget the bandaids... trust me your gonna need em. you might think i'm crazy, but the first time you bump into an endmill thats still chucked up, and it slices you good and deep, you'll learn what i did. THEM THINGS ARE MIGHTY SHARP!

oh, and dont forget the face shield, cause at first, when you start cutting, your gonna just stand there and watch it, and the chips will be flying, and sooner or later, DOINK you got metal in the eye... and just let me tell you this much, when they come at your eyeball with that dremel lookn and soundn thing in the dr office, you'll remember some eye protection.. go ahead, ask me how i know that one!
