If you are into the Do-it-Yourself things:
CNC Retro Fit Link
A DIY DRO is available as well, not as nice as glass scales, but for the most part, one wouldn't notice the difference.

Basically all you do is load stock and thats it

they are even better than that, I use machine shops that have automated pallets to load the machines...heck, the only reason they need workers is to sweep the floor
Now back to the original question:
Do some homework and shop around, be leary of buying a tool that will need to be shipped....shipping can cost a lot of money (Dunkels Brothers is one such company, LOL)
I have bought some tooling from eBay, it's hard to pass up endmills when you can buy them by the pound !!!!!
Enco is always have sales, free shipping or free something.
now get out there and make some chips
