Have you found the CNCZone.com site? There is an overwhelming amount of information and ideas there. A lot of PCB CNC information too.

Howdy, homebrew folks.
I've done a bunch of googling, searched the homebrew PCB archives, and the like, and the information I've been able to find on this subject is... sparse. So, I figured I'd ask more directly.
I'm looking to spend probably a few thousand dollars in the near future for a CNC setup at home. Though not exclusively for them, PCBs is one of the things I'd like it to be able to do well.
Unfortunately there seems to be very few resources out there that list what setups are actually available, how they compare, that kind of thing. I can find a site here or a site there that give a little information, but frequently not enough to really be useful.
So, my question is... is anyone familiar with such a resource, that would list the options (specifically with PCB milling in mine), the pros and cons of each, etc? Or, does anyone have a cheat sheet they can post (or email) that at least lists the options?
I really appreciate any information that folks can toss my way.
Thanks!
