I bought one and love it....don't buy the complete kit though..I bought the cnc ready version from nick carter about $900 and Jeff at xylotex sold me 3 248 OZ. steppers and his 3 axis Box for $500...$120 for Mach 2 and have a new machine that runs from a windows based PC...all for around $1500....most people will tell you the software that comes with the mill is pretty basic stuff and toss it anyway...Mach2 works Great and it does alot more than the rest of the cnc software out there..easy to use too..
