Thanks for your advice. This software sounds like its very useful. I was reluctant to try owing to likelihood of introducing more possible problems into the mix. I did try though, and it did.
Cant get it to generate Gcode at all.
The log displays:

The good news is that this all sounds very fixable. I'm thinking this is purely a software issue and it's not surprising that you're having problems considering how fragmented it all is at the moment.
My recommendation would be to try out a software package that Daid here on the forum has put together, it's called Cura and is aimed at fresh users just like you. Basically what it is is a front end to a tweaked and improved version of Skeinforge where the hard work has been done for you. It also incorporates a firmware updater and a few other things (I don't run it myself so I don't know all the specifics). From what I've read from other users you're very likely to get up and running with this.
Don't give up, you'll be a very happy camper once you get it up and running (and if you still feel like tossing it out I'll gladly pay the shipping and have you ship it to me instead )
edit: And yes, that tiny fan is a cheap POS, either put up with the noise or replace it not much else to say about that...
