Using EzPCB's online quote engine, five 100x100mm boards is $65 with free HK
Post shipping or $95 with EMS. Compare that too $25 + $5 shipping (or +$30
for EMS) from Iteadstudio or Seedstudio. Not only is the price more than 50%
lower, you also get 2x as many boards (or more). If you can make your board
smaller, < 5x5cm, then the cost drops to $10 + $4 shipping for the same 10
boards. Seriously, under $15 for 10 pcbs with silkscreens and solder masks.
For that price I think I can deal with the hassles of making Gerbers and
waiting a few extra days. :-)
