CustomPCB.com is much cheaper than either pcb123 or ExpressPCB. I've
used all three, and even though custom PCB is in Malaysia, they're
still faster and cheaper. Every once in a while I get back a board with
problems, but it's usually just one in the batch. Custom PCB does
pricing by surface area, not board count. I've ordered parts from
digikey & custom pcb on the same day and usually my boards arrive
first.
