Here's the build Thread for the SX3 CNC Conversion.
I've decided to use the Fignoggle Plans for this conversion.

I will start with building the mounting brackets and such. This will give me time to do some more research and acquire the other components. What I like about the plans, is that it will allow me to go at my own pace, and will still allow me to use my mill in between steps. The option of using the mill manually in the end is also a deciding factor over the Fusion Kit.
For now I'm undecided, but am thinking of just using the stock lead screws for all 3 axis. This will allow me to get the mill up and running faster, and cheaper. As the ball screws can be added later. I think?
