Well it looked like a good idea. I currently have a 17 inch flat panel

so I'll stick with that.

It all depends on your system and what you want to do.
I have found a Harbor Freight (cheep Chinese) laminate router an
inexpensive solution for my small (400x400x100mm) gantry router.
At $20 to $30 (depending on sales) it is cheap enough to have a spare
and replace if a problem. Cheap enough

That is what I have been us
A trim router such as the Bosch Colt can be fitted with collets by Precise Bits
(http://www.precisebits.com/gateways/ColletsNutsHome.htm). Using very small
endmills requires a collet with very little runout to avoid breakage. The
Precise Bit collets are a big improvement over the stock collets.

I left out part 2 of my answer.
Once you have a proper Linux driver for this display you need to see if
it disrupts the Linux/RTAI real-time performance that EMC2 depends on.

I have been looking at an air spindle that goes for about $1800. The
machinist at work has one, and he gets a lot of work out of it. Definitely
20 Dremels worth of work so far.
I have some Moore powered spindles that I would like to use, but the
