After seeing the lathe video by PC and various other great things made by people in modding, I figured it would be a very awesome tool addition to have for so many things, I searched ebay for lathes and they ranged from £200 to £700 and beyond, then came across this 6 in 1 tool for £250 but question it's build quality, looks el cheapo & plasticky so wouldn't mind knowing what you guys think of it :).

And on another note I updated my air cube v2 hdd cage and front panel and the case cools better now, just like my v1 but quieter :).

Assuming it's a genuine Unimat, I think you'd be very happy with the purchase. They can do a lot, Paul has one but I don't know how much he's used it...

Can't afford it yet but I'm gonna get saving up for it, I'll just put off pc upgrades for a while longer :) it'll open up a lot of mod possibilities :).
Thanks for the speedy reply jdbnsn and yeah, that was the 1st video that got my interest :).
