CNC Router help

Hello all!

I am relatively new to the field of homemade CNC, so I was
wondering if someone could indulge me in a few simple questions.

Being a manual machinist for a few years now, I have had no
problem designing a 2'x 2' CNC wood Router. Now that the designing is
almost done, (on the mechanical side, anyway), I am running into
roadblocks.
I understand the concept behind it all; computer software, stepper
controls, stepper motor and power supply. My problem is this: Where
do I get it all??? I've located the software (Master5). I think I
know what size stepper motors to use (200 oz/in). But where can I
find some decent but rather inexpensive stepper controllers and power
supply's ? Like I said, I'm rather new to this, and unless it's
rather easy to assemble, I'm not that interested in kits. Since I've
invested a bit of money into my router, I
really don't want to break the bank, but...
Any help would be very, very appreciated.
Thanks for the help.
P.S Feel free to e-mail me.
