What is a good source for small run of small PCB boards in U.S. or North America?
Reasonable price, decent quality?

Someone here must have some detailed info on some companies.

If I need say 10 PCB's, I can make them myself. But 100. A bit much. Actually making the boards isn't so bad, its drilling all those fucking holes.

Depending on how small of a run you're talking, you can't do much better than the DorkbotPDX order (http://dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/pcb_order). If you want less than 150 square inches, it's $5 per square inch of the design to get 3 copies of the board. If your run is more than 150 sq inches, they're currently testing the feasability of medium-run orders, and it's a bit cheaper at $1/sq inch. The boards are top quality, and I know a lot of people here use this service and would highly recommend it, as I would.

Speaking just for myself, I'd really only be needing it for runs of 100+ well, maybe 50+ EACH design.
About 8 different designs.

But thats still a bit off, few months if I'm lucky.

I'll check your link out later.
Got some friends over tonight for a jam.
