[sdiy] Cheap ( and I mean CHEAP ) PCB source?

[s]

check out sparkfun.com for cheap pcbs- they're $2.50
per square inch, minimum size 1 by 1 inch... they are
_very_ cheap, and the bprice includes legending and
solder masking & all... that price is for 1 or 2
sided.
And you can order single boards.

My roommate & I have made a few through them, and all
have been lovely and perfect. No complaints at all!

I highly recommend.
