Where to buy Small Batch PCB Fabrication Cheap?

[hevnsnt]

Does anyone know of a good company that can make decent quality PCB's (small batch) for cheap? I have a project I am working on and I would like to get 100 (or less) of these made.

Before anyone says "Make them yourself.." I already have, for my tester, now I want them fab'd

look in your phone book, you should be able to get a good price on 100 boards...maybe $10-15 each depending on options. There is also an online place that has good prices but you have to use their software and it isn't convertable to any other formats. I am drawing a blank on the name right now though.

www.pcbexpress.com is maybe what I was thinking of

What city are you in? If you live in L.A., I can give you the names of a couple of good, reliable places. If you live elsewhere, I've seen ads for inexpensive quick turn-around shops that work over the net in Electronic Design and Electronic Design News.

BTW, 100 pcs. is more than prototype level. PM if you want more info on what you need to do to prepare your materials properly.

I live in KC..

What should I look under in the Yellow pages?

btw: I only said 100 because I am not sure what small is.. I would love to only make 20-30

That site rules...you lay it out w/ their software...for our project we made it fit 2 boards on each one that they charged for so we got 6 for like 60 bucks.
