Homebrew PCBs

Laser printers can be bought for roughly $100 these days.
It's hard to beat the consistent output and quality 
of toner on transparencies. Also, if you're adventurous
enough, they are good for direct iron-on transfer to PCB's.

At that price, it's almost not worth hours of fiddling
with inkjets - unless someone figures out how to
do the direct inkjet resist to pcb method.
