I also use PCBExpress for the small boards I make
(transmitters and offset
attenuators for transmitter hunting), and they are quick and inexpensive. I'm
told by a friend of mine that a place in (I think) Bulgeria makes good quality
boards at a better price (and are ROHS compliant) but I haven't tried them.
Sidelight - The guy who started PCBExpress lives in Santa Barbara and used to
work for Polymorphic Systems. One of the things *I* am interested in is
finding
out is if a "MicroAltair" was ever made by Polymorphic or if it was a
preliminary announcement that got quashed by MITS. That was why the reason for
the conversation I had with him (still don't know, but got another lead to
find
out.)

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

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.
