In general, you can pay more (sometimes much more) for faster service and prettier boards or pay less (sometimes much less) for a slower turnaround and and more basic boards (e.g., no silkscreen or solder mask). If you've not send a board out before, one thing to be sure to check is the diameter of any through-holes (including vias). Know whether you're looking for a diameter before plating (raw drill size) or after plating and know whether the hole diameters that result are really appropriate for the parts you intend to use. PCB Express http://www.pcbexpre ss.com/index. php isn't the cheapest but they'll do well for your first couple of runs until you're more comfortable with the process. At a *minimum* read through their pre- order checklist and FAQ, even if you decide to go with somebody else. Other places will have different "free" drill sizes but otherwise it's pretty good advice. If you can wait a little longer, Sparkfun runs a batch fab at http:// www.batchpcb. com/. You'll save a little but expect to wait. OTOH, you may receive more boards than you ordered (at no additional cost) if they used yours to "fill in the gaps" to complete a panel.
