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.)

but the "bare bones" boards. I use them for
prototypes too. If you want
high volume large "bare bones" PCBs, NO ONE (that I've found) so far can
beat PCBExpress. I used them to make 20 14x12" PCBs for my 19,008 LED
bitmap display. I think the bill was $340. :D They are kind of strange
about drill sizes... You have to choose from around 15 sizes.
