General Computer & Hardware Components Required?

I'm in the process of designing a 3-axis gantry-type machine. I've been going in circles with hardware setups and looking for some answers as there seem to be more options and hardware and things seem to be changing quickly.

I'm trying to work to a reasonable budget and keep components simple-ish.

I'm looking to use something like this forr the computer: Intel Motherboard BLKD2550MUD2, Atom Dual Core 2500 NM10 mITX 2xSODIMM DDR3 LVDS+DVI+VGA+LPT, PCI, 4/3 USB2, GBLAN

and something like this for motion:
DMM AC Servo Kit

FYI,I don't want/like steppers.

From what I understand about the Servo options, there are two basic options(correct me if I'm wrong)

1. The stepper-type that do step-direction(As I understand, this isn't a FULL feedback loop back to the controller. The servo motor has internal feedback loop to itself.) With these servos, I couldn't truly synchronize two servos for something like Rigid Tapping or Lathe Threading
2. The real deal servos where encoder signals are fed directly into the controller(linux cnc). Fully closed loop. Servo Synchronization, position feedback, etc.

I'm looking for option 2.

Aside from any peripherals and bonus IOs and whatnot, generally speaking, what hardware is required to get linuxCNC to control the servos with full feedback? Is there some complete kits? Do I need a PCI card or only onboard parallel port? What's recommended here? Mid-Low cost.

TLDR; Starting from scratch, what hardware components are required end to end for a 3-4 axis full feedback servo setup to get up and running from nothing?

Thanks for you guidance.

Thanks. I looked through the Mesa boards and don't even know where to start... I suppose I need to find some servos first so I know what Mesa drives I need? Is there a source for new low/mid cost servos performance servos that will work with Mesa?

Seems like the DMM kit is not what I need?
Something like these will work with Mesa instead of the DYN4 Drive?www.dmm-tech.com/ac_servomotor_main_a1.html

Do I need a Mesa PCI card too?

Thanks. Yes, I want to fully close the loop with LinuxCNC.

I'm slowly absorbing:

Would I need something like this to start:
MESA 7I77-5I25 PLUG-N-GO KIT

Then, I can use either Mesa Drives or other Servo Drives that are paired with a Servo? Or Is that overkill? Is there a better way? Would the DMM servos work? Can anyone suggest some comparable servos to look at aside from DMM?

I've ordered the mobo, power supply, 4 gigs of ram(because it was cheaper than 2 in most cases) and other bits to get the computer going. I'm going to install LinuxCNC and try the demo. I'm still looking for some comparable servos and drives like the .75kw + DYN4 in terms of performance and price. I may just pick up one set and give it a test.

I pulled the trigger a bit too quick.. The Atom Board I picked, while cheap and seemingly has plenty of power, uses an unsupported graphics chip which would really limit the whole experience. Also in my research, I guess I don't need the lowest latency possible because I'm not doing software stepping/control and using the mesa card for the servo control instead. I relaxed a little on trying to find the fastest/cheapest/fanless setup(if that even exists).

There are numerous discussions on that video chip. Here's just one: forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=105091

I returned the components and ordered an AMD Athlon 5350 and Mini-Itx board with 8 gigs of ram for under $100. It has better components, USB3 and HDMI out which will make monitor selection a little easier these days. Downside is it's not fanless. I'll keep poking around for a nice fanless setup, but for now, I have an inexpensive setup to start playing with.

I may try this: 5350 Fanless Cooler
