Does anyone know of a good Battlemech designer that has all the latest tech, and is free? Please post a link if you have one. Thanks.

Right here on Sarna.net:
http://www.sarna.net/btech/files/programs/designers/windows/
Also, google around for "The Drawing Board."
If you can free up about $30, the Heavy Metal Pro programs are excellent (I saw you asked for "free" designers, but...)
see: www.heavymetalpro.com

I have the Drawing Board, but it doesn't have quite a few of the weapons/equipment I'm looking for (Heavy Gauss, RACs, Stealth armor, just to name a few). Besides HM, are there any other programs that have those (and are free)?

I'm not aware of others. You might ask around for the latest version of TDB, which may have the HGR and other recent weapons.
If not, I'm not aware of other free designers with those weapons.

Thanks so much for your help, Cray. I "googled around" and it turns out there is an update for TDB that has everything I was looking for and more. Thanks again.

Yep, that's the one. Just went check. 
Heh, fired up the oldies MEP and BMD just for fun. Still had them lying around.

Yup, I've still got BMD on here, but only because I need to consult it to find out engine rating/speed and jump range.

Hm, might as well ask my own question here...
Anyone know of a 'Mech designer (preferably free, but it doesn't have to be) that works with Macintosh OSX?

If you look in the File Archive (link at top of side frame), there's a section with Mac designers.

Yes, but none of them run on OSX.
*sigh* I guess I'll just have to find my calculator again...
