Yes, I think this might be of interest to piclist. A lot of pcb'ers
here. Always good to find a new cheap pcb source.

If you could get a quote on the following example case:

- 10ea, 2-sided, 3"x4", FR4, plated thru, proto service [no masks].
- "extra" hole drilling: 5 std drills, total = 440 holes

I've added extra holes here, since many pcb manufacturers charge
a **very stiff** premium for hole density beyond 24/sqin. 440 holes
is about 36/sqin - about normal for my pcbs.

Info in mask costs would also be useful - with most manuf, this
step is quite expensive.
===========

For reference, the approx cost of 10bds from apcircuits.com would
be about:

10 * [(3*4*0.68)+(1.50/extra holes)] + (48/setup) = $145US --> $14.50/bd.
