Anyhow, is machine mart a good place to buy equipment from? Is it true they have vat free evenings? I'm in East Sussex, where are the closest events to me?
Which event organiser did the one at the Brighton center a few years back?

Sorry I ask so many questions.

I had a look at cad software and to be honest I'm not going to bother until I get a better computer. This ones pretty old, so muh we'll see. Thanks anyway.

Machine mart aint bad price wise but everywhere has constantly got deals on so its a case of looking online to see whos doing what at the best price and then finding the closest store to you. or just buy online, sometimes you need to to get the reduced price.

as for cad software, you'll find that you'll need quite a powerful machine to run it. especially if you have loads of parts to your assembly. i have a separate machine with nothing on but my cad software. your best bet for a cheap powerful computer would be to build your own. if you haven't a clue where to start im sure there's a forum for it. although now days complete machines have come right down in price. aldi sell good machines occasionally if your not a badge snob.
