Re: gEDA-user: Looking for PCB fab recommendations

[Darrell Harmon <dlharmon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   I have used the no touch service from [1]http://www.protoexpress.com
   They are in Sunnyvale, CA, and do good work. I would expect a full
   service order to cost somewhere in your price range for 5 to 10
   boards, and no touch to be about $150 for 1 board to $400 for 5
   boards. No touch is somewhat limited in what they offer and they
   require the order to be placed on the website with a credit card, but
   I believe it meets your specs. It is tin lead HASL, and they have not
   had problems with gerbers from PCB. Advance Circuits is another
   option, but they have switched to lead free HASL for standard orders.

     Hello gEDA/PCB users,
     Ineiev is almost done with the layout of my SDSL board, and I am
     now
     looking for a place to fab it.  I am posting here in the hope that
     some
     kind soul can suggest a PCB fab shop that would be a good fit for
     what I
     want to build.  Here are my board features:
     * Simple rectangular PCB shape, 130x165 mm (about 33 sq in)
     * 4 layers (I was originally planning on 6, but Ineiev got it laid
     out
      in 4 layers without having to increase the size!)
     * Soldermask on both sides (color doesn't matter)
     * Silk screen on both sides (color doesn't matter)
     * SnPb finish - this one is an absolute requirement for ideological
     /
      philosophical reasons, RoHS crap is *not* acceptable.
     * Both plated and unplated drill. Some parts have plastic mounting
      elements and I want unplated holes for those.
     * 8 mil rules should be good enough (Ineiev can correct me if I'm
     wrong
      on this one).
     Other considerations:
     * Quantity: 1 to 5 boards depending on the pricing
     * I would prefer a shop somewhere in USA for the ease of shipping,
      payment, communication, avoidance of customs etc.
     * I'm hoping for a price range somewhere around $500-700.
     Would anyone here happen to know of a PCB fab shop that can do what
     I
     want?
     TIA,
     MS
