[sdiy] Should I use REAL PCBS or ETCHED

[Dan Snazelle]

of course

two more issues

i tend to make things that look a bit messier when i work on perfboard
and 

2

i might WANT to build one for myself and a few friends


so in that case, would etching at home be ok?


i just hate to think of perfboarding 2 times.

i was really more wondering if i should do ETCH or PCB HOUSE


but it sounds like a lot of you have done it on perfboard so that makes me think that MIGHT be a good way if i could get the design standard-ized enough.

harry-you mean you sell products that have vectorboard inside as the main boards? 

does perfboard present a nightmare situation though if THIS EVER NEEDS REPAIRS?? if i did etch or pcb house and a board went bad, i could just pull out the PNP template and make another. if i used perf, well it sounds like it would be hard. plus, doesnt vector or perfboard not hold up as well when soldering and resoldering (as in the case of replacing faulty parts,etc)

thanks so much
