What do you guys (in the U.S.) do about one-off prototypes which you=20
can't make in-house?  To date I've made all my own prototypes manually,=20
but I've now got a board with BGA's and other very small components on=20
them, which I can't reliably and really would not prefer to attempt to=20
make here.  Especially because I have limited sample parts on hand, and=20
beyond that would have to be a large-volume order.  I was assuming it's=20
just a matter of having a CEM do it, but so far I'm running into issues=20
where they're all saying they really do one-offs, and if so, they'd make=20
a handful and I can use just one, but they'd have to charge me for all=20
that the make.  Is this common?  Or have I just not found the right CEM=20
yet? Or do all of you have in-house capability to assemble yourself?

Cheers,
-Neil.
