Sounds like the board is pretty simple being that size.  If so, I'd second =
Olimex.  Sure, keep the drill sizes as they request, and the delivery is a =
little slow but I've been happy with the 3 or 4 projects I have run thru th=
em.
   =

  They accept the Eagle .brd files direct, so you don't have to worry about=
 the issues of generating drill files, gerbers, etc at least for your first=
 time.
   =

  If your not in a hurry, sparkfun can be another place, again if your not =
in a hurry.  2-3 weeks typical.  But cheaper.  5 day turns, I use PCBfabExp=
ress, pretty decent pricing from them, they also do a bare bones like 4PCB =
(advanced circuits) does.  Doing a bare bones board (no solder mask or silk=
 screen just tinned traces) is good for first proto's because you dont have=
 to scrape away the solder mask to tac wires on places.

  Nicholas,

Olimex is likely a decent choice given you're in Europe and they're
reasonably priced. Their DRC can be hard to pass for a first-timer, though.

Cadsoft make a free (for non-commercial) tool called EAGLE. www.cadsoft.de.

Were you planning on trying to do your PCB in Turbocad? I'd advise against
it unless you're doing a very simple/wide track board that you can
photoresist yourself. My first board was 10mil!
