Well I just got all the boards, power supplies, and wiring on friday. So
technically nothing....but from what it looks like. It will only take a day to
hook up the wires (motor, limits, drawbar, coolant, etc.). The toolchanger is
another beast.
I know its not much but I have pretty much the next 2 weeks to work on it
straight. I already have the 5i25, 7i77, computer, monitor, wiring, relays, etc.
Nothing was gutted from the fadal. Its all there.

Subversion Kills Productivity. Get off Subversion & Make the Move to Perforce.
With Perforce, you get hassle-free workflows. Merge that actually works.
Faster operations. Version large binaries. Built-in WAN optimization and the
freedom to use Git, Perforce or both. Make the move to Perforce.
