Jack,
I've used Advance Circuits several times for quick turn boards and have had
good results.  They take regular gerber/drill data. Upload your files and
they automatically send back a free DFM report along with a quote in about
15 minutes. Price depends on several factors, but for relatively little
effort you can get the results in a short time.

One thing to watch on proto's is that all holes are plated. This hasn't
caused any troubles for any of my boards so far. They used to send a free
microwave popcorn and coaster with the initial order, but since my customer
is the one placing the order they always get the freebies :(

Subject: [DC] Cheap and Fast PCBs (Wham Bam!)

I know there have been a few discussions lately
about ExpressPCb and other freeware, but this
question is a little different....

I am being told that PCBExpress can do 1-day
turns for around $100. None of my current vendors
are like that, they charge more like $1000 locally.

Now I am being asked to take a little test board
that I ALREADY HAVE GERBER DATA for, and
recreate it in PCBExpress just to get it for $100
by the weekend.

Does anyone have vendors that take gerbers who
are competitive with this?

wham bam,
Jack
