Update 7/19/2008:
Some testing of PCB-gcode on my mill. I added home switches. I mounted the Y axis one but am waiting for my extension kit from CNCFusion before mounting the X.
Anyway here is a short video of a test mill:

Updates July 16, 2008
I have posted some pictures of my mill in it's new home.
In addition, I am getting ready to start milling my own prototype PCBs. For this I have found a free ULP for Eagle CAD that converts the board drawing to Gcodes. It's called PCB-Gcode. In my excitement, I also decided to contribute some time to updating some C++ optimization code for PCB-Gcode output. It works very well as you can see in the sample images I uploaded to my Picasa album.
Now I'm working on a GUI interface using Qt. A small learning curve. More about milling PCBs can be found here.
