PCBExpress has some good prices for the barebones
I'll have to put that at the top of my list.
But not for pcb's with all the options.
I always like the LED display projects--have fun soldering :)
I came up with another style for a LED display.
It still has Leds but not in plain sight.
I call it the Pixelator, you'll see when I get ti done.
I noticed that PCBExpress has a link to a PCB Assy house. - Screaming
Circuits
They look interesting too, but I havn't checked any quotes with them yet.
As far as having the same finish. There's nothing stopping you from
starting a new batch.
I would suggest making a panel to cut costs(tooling and pcb), example 4x
S-100 pcbs.
They always want the goldfingers on the outside edge.
I haven't seen any good prices from Advance Circuits that can compare.
BTW, that link says $33 *each*, min qty 3 required
They try to suck you in with all the free-for-first time customer
promotions too.
PCBCart still has a better price(even after shipping) with all the options
Here's a comparison
..............Imagineering.......PCBCart
10piece 20 sq.in.
5 day lead 8 day lead(same diff)
11 - 20 sqin. $13ea. $6ea
21 - 40 sqin. $15ea. $9ea
41 - 60 sqin. $20ea. $11ea
61 - 80 sqin. $25ea. $14ea ($18ea after DHL shipping)

3 for $33. with a 60 square inch limit 5 day lead, but cheaper than
PCB Express for small runs and they will drill hole sizes exactly. : )
Or Imagineering
http://www.pcbnet.com/adspec107.asp You have to register to see pricing.
Cheapest is 10 boards of 20 square inches for $13ea, 5 day lead on all.
11 - 20 sqin. $13ea.
21 - 40 sqin. $15ea.
41 - 60 sqin. $20ea.
61 - 80 sqin. $25ea.
Anything above that and production pricing is cheaper.
