these guys produce smaller desktop CNC machines -- yes they are computer controlled. The basic one runs $900. Next size up is $1300 and then $2500. The much faster closed loop (feedback) systems are $1300 extra.
I'm trying to hunt a used one down.

Fixittt uses a MaxNC 15. he used to make the Spir@ls on it that D-Tek now makes and sells. Problem with those is no hand wheels. :shrug: I use the little Sherline mill from
www.acumotion.com it weighs a hefty 45lbs! Works good for me but you need patients with it. It isn't to sturdy so you have go slower with it. But it is CNC.

The mill itself is about as tall as and long as a Full size ATX case and about as wide as a key board. You have seen the blocks I have made with it so it is capable. Just a little to expensive for what you get though.
Also try
