FYI this is the company whose tech guys helped us get PCB's gerber
output correct. They're good folks.

It would be bad if they put them in the isolation gap between the high
voltage side and the low voltage side.

It's $66 per board. $198 total for 3 boards minimum. Hence the
subject line. Compared to $150-165 for 3-5 boards elsewhere, it's not
that much more.

PCB supports boards up to 32"x32" for sure, and may support up to 1/4
mile per side. I've tested it at 53 or so layers, it can handle as
many as you recompile it for but 16 is the default limit.
