Re: gEDA-user: Anybody ever had a board assembled (pick and place)?

[Russell Dill <Russ.Dill@xxxxxxx>]

To get an online assembly quote, you have to register on the
my4pcb.com site. I don't know how competitive the cost is, but given
the quantity and complexity, if I'm going to have an assembly house
fck up a PCB that I had prototyped, I'd rather it be the house that
make the PCB. I didn't ask about reels because my quantities are not
up in the reel numbers.

They also have a page with assembly house referrals.
