Some notes on price quotes and the drama that are circuit boards:

Futurlec: I used to really not have a problem with Futurlec. I sent them
a board a full month ago. They sent me an email 3 weeks ago asking a
question about a feature of my board (a guard ring around a very high
impedance wire). I told them that's the way it's supposed to be. Two
weeks go by. I say "where's my board?" their response is: "Please answer
the question." so I tell them I answered it already and I send them my
response. Yesterday I send them an email "Where's my board?" their
response: "Please answer the question."  so. I'm done with Futurlec.
(I know, shame on me for trying to get something cheaply)

I sent out an RFQ with my gerbers to a couple places. This board is
2.75" square, 10mils clearance/trace width/annular ring, so a pretty
generic board. All of these places do a 5 day or less turnaround if
asked. Olimex was out because of a 10 day turnaround. Quantity 5
(prototypes..)

4. Advanced Circuits $64.00 (I really wanted to buy from them but
they're just too expensive)
3. hamppcb.com $28.60
2. ourpcb.com $27.08
1. pcbnet.com $25.00

ymmv
