connect to the parralel port of your PC and control stepper motors.
You can use very cheap or even free software to control the machine.
Examples of controllers are:
www.xylotex.com

Examples of control programs:
http://www.dakeng.com/turbo.html (free to try $20 to register, I use
this!)
http://www.artofcnc.ca/index.html (windows based)
If you want to make something big/fast then also consider
