Thanks man, if I renege on my touchscreen obsession, I will keep this one in mind;)
Did a quick search on the used market already and quite a few of them around the USD70 mark. Looks to still have the ethernet port, too.
As for the touchscreen, I was hoping that ProbeBasic (lathe) would make it easier - but maybe still too small on a 14'' screen (I have a 22'' for the mill waiting to be set up). On first glance Gmoccapy seems to have smaller buttons but have to look into that some more.
