Hi Olin.

Register on www.4pcb.com and try $33 special.
What you will be paying for 4 boards is:

$33*4 + $10 + actual shipping cost (FedEx/UPS) which is less than $243
and quality is really good. You'll have those boards in 5 days + shipping.
Right now they have increased minimal order quantity to three boards.
(BTW they do multilayers also)

There are others as well but for prototypes I prefer 4pcb.com service.

WBR Dmitry.
