Need Help!- Looking for mostly pre-build machine

[igolfat8]

I really am lusting after a K2 machine but frankly can't afford one. My needs are a cutting area of at least 22" x 24" x 4.5-5" Z. I like the speed and looks of the Romaxx machine but the cutting area isn't large enough. The next choice is a CNC-9000 from Circuit Specialties. My budget (with software) is $5K max. Can anyone suggest some other machines to consider in this range. Building one from scratch is out of the question as I don't have the time to devote to it so that is why I need a mostly prebuilt machine.

I will primarily be machining wood parts for acoustic guitars.

I just built three Wide-Routers as requested by someone wanting to make Guitar necks! Never heard back from them, so they are now on eBay!

Wide Router Specifications

Maximum Travel:
---------------
y-Axis: 21.125" (536.575 mm)
x-Axis: 8.250" (209.550 mm)
Z-Axis: 3.900" (99.0600 mm)

Widgit can you do something like the 39 by 25 K2 machine too?
