<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I have used </font><a href=http://www.batchpcb.com/><font size=2 face="sans-serif">http://www.batchpcb.com/
for prototyping and they are good and reliable, but a bit slow. They
are slow due to the nature of their business, but for one or two-of, they
are one of the better ones. If you are going with a big order, then
you can use one of the many chinese board houses. I have used </font><a href=http://www.goldphoenixpcb.biz/><font size=2 face="sans-serif">http://www.goldphoenixpcb.biz/.
They accept the same gerber files as batchpcb (they are business partners).
They have a $99 special for 155 sqin worth of board. No setup
fee, but if you want certain "extras" you have to pay for them,
such as 2sided silk screen. If you stick with single sided silk,
then the 99 bucks will get you as many of your boards as you can fit in
155 SQin. You do not have to make the gerber file with the multiple
boards, you send them the files for one board and they replicate it for
you to maximize the number of boards. They do allow for multi project
order, but you have to pay a fee for this ($30). Oh! and shipping
is included in the price. </font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm sure there are many others out there,
but those two I have used and had zero problems. They will be included
in my presentation. I'm not sure when I will be able to give the
presentation, since I have to go to 3 weeks of training by the end of September.
At least one of the trainings falls on the meeting day. Once
the training days are firmed up, I can let Tweeks know when I'm gonna present.</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>So I am fairly close to finishing my board layout
for my MidiBox <br>
project (in this case, it is the BankStick module) and was curious as <br>
to who your favorite boardhouse was? The EagleCAD site lists TONs of <br>
them. It's a simple top/bottom board with a ground plane so it's <br>
nothing super fancy, although I only plan on ordering 1 or 2 to begin <br>
with. I'm not finished yet, but if anyone wants to see the work in <br>
progress, let me know!<br>
