I agree, I've been extremely happy with their price and service. My only complaint is that they just raised their minimum $33 prototype service from 2 to 3 boards. One of my boards is 8"X8" and everyone else wants to jack the price up significantly for that. I bought 2 for $66+$10 charge plus shipping. They have always beat their estimated ship date and you can track the progress online. I've used them many times for this service and have had no problems with their boards, only my drawings :) Good luck, Fred >From: Brian Aase >Reply-To: pic microcontroller discussion list >To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU >Subject: Re: [EE]: Anyone dealt with Custom PCB? >Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2002 13:19:13 -0700 > >and/or production boards? > > > > I've mostly used PCB Express because their quality is good, prices >better > > than anyone else I've found for real boards (boards with at least > > two copper > > layers, solder mask, and silk screen), and they can do multi layer. > > > > This is the first I have heard of these Custom PCB folks.
