One more thing about the spade bits and mdf, make sure you have a scrap piece of mdf or something underneath the piece you are drilling, so as to avoid blowing a big chunk of material off of the back of your work piece :)

Minwah: Thanks :) excellent frontend btw, i love it.

Spade bits are great. I got one for my CP.

A good tip is to drill a pilot hole through the cp, and then drill a little on each side with the spade bit, then you do not get any chipping eyc from the board.

Good tip.  The pilot helps to make sure the bit doesn't wander a little as you start as well.  Assuming you put the pilot hole in the right place of course!  :D
