HobbyCNC....
G'day Pete,
I got the HobbyCNC 4 axis Pro Chopper for my JOES build. It hasn't missed a beat so far. Does require some medium level soldering skills though. Great board for the price I think, and you get the 4th axis either for back-up (in case you let smoke out of one of the other ones.....) or a rotary axis later on if you're keen!
My build thread has a little bit of construction detail on it, but you can find heaps of info on this zone, and/or their website.
I will admit, if I had the money I probably would have brought Geckos though....... they look prettier......
