[sdiy] CrackleBoxes and PCBs

[Rafael_Cohen at prusec.com]

Hey everyone,
Thanks for all the help with the Crackleboxes.  They are working great!  I
have been building lots of them for myself and as gifts for
musical-noise-minded friends and I was thinking of getting some PCBs made
to make them nicer and neater.  Can anyone recommend a "Boardhouse" that
will give me a good price on a very small 2" x 2" board with low parts
count, single sided, preferably with silkscreen.

One of these days I'll get a website together and I'll post some pics...

Thanks,
Rafael

Thanks for all the help. I am having a better time using the program and
actually starting to like it. Unfortunately, the limitations in the
freeware
version do not allow me to build the PCB I need. So yet again I cannot save
money by using the cheaper boardhouse because I'd have to pay $400 for the
full version of EaglePCB. Checkmate it seems, I cannot afford such things
on
military pay.
Until, I find another free or at least affordable PCB program I guess I
will
start to research the cost of making the PCB myself. After all, I started
my
career in a boardhouse ;-)
