| **[[http://www.pcbexpress.com|PCB 123/PCB Express ]]** \\ The software is lame, but the service is pretty good, apparently. I haven't had time to try it out though. Seems to be pretty much identical to Advanced Circuits in pricing and structure: Cheap (no silk/mask) next-day PCBs, a couple-day prototype service with green mask and white silkscreen, and then a more detailed 'production' service.

| - | **[[http://www.2justforyou.com|Sierra Proto (2justforyou)]]** \\ The URL is kinda retarded, their DFM production staff seems so-so compared to 4pcb, and they add a $20 'service' charge to their proto PCBs which is really obnoxious (just be honest about the price, is all I ask). But when they get around to it, the quality of their "NoTouch" boards exceeds that of 4pcb w/gorgeous silk-screening. Whats really nice is that they allow much larger PCBs for their prototype runs, 80 sq. & larger. | + | **[[https://www.protoexpress.com/|Sierra Proto (2justforyou)]]** \\ Their DFM production staff seems so-so compared to 4pcb, and they add a $20 'service' charge to their proto PCBs which is really obnoxious (just be honest about the price, is all I ask).

| **[[http://www.sparkfun.com|BatchPCB (SparkFun Prototyping)]]** \\ They have a 'prototypers' service, $10 + $2.50 per sq in. They use Gold Phoenix as their downstream provider, its probably good for most small projects but be aware that it may take 3 weeks to get your PCBs (they are low priority and made in China) | **[[http://www.sparkfun.com|BatchPCB (SparkFun Prototyping)]]** \\ They have a 'prototypers' service, $10 + $2.50 per sq in.

| - | **[[http://dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/pcb_order]]** \\ The Portland Dorkbot group sends out a bi-weekly (sometimes tri-weekly) PCB order. Boards are $5/sq. inch. for 3 copies. The Quality is excellent, the boards are produced domestically, and shipping is covered in your board price. Boards take a max of 9 days turn around. Not cost-effective for producing small volume runs, but good for testing/experimenting with a design. Occasionally some member pitches in for gold-plating and the whole panel gets it. | + | **[[ http://Oshpark.com]]** \\ Laen sends out a bi-weekly PCB order. Boards are $5/sq. inch. for 3 copies.
