Source for inexpensive drivers and stuff

Hello all,
Just joined the group. I've been lurking for a bit now, finally got
around to it...
I just finished building my CNC Router. (24"x26"x5") It came out
better than expected. Now that I have it up and running (and making
money) I am looking at building another, smaller CNC, probably a
Dremel tool type, 12"x12"x3" (for engraving only)
This is my query: On my first machine, I used Gecko's, a nice power
supply from Microkinetics and some beefy motors. While these all work
quite well, they tend to drive up the overall cost of the project.
Would anyone know where I could find some rather inexpensive motor
drivers? What about a power supply? I'm thinking about using NEMA
23's, which should be more than enough. Whatever I get, it has to be
simple, inexpensive, and already or mostly assembled. i'm a
machinist, not an electrical engineer. :)
Thanks in advance
Seth
