Well I placed three orders for different boards...
one from Itead, 10 boards 10cm x 10cm came to about 27$ shipped to Texas
one from Seeed, 10 boards 10cm x 10cm came to about 20$ shipped to Texas
I liked the 'preview' of my files after upload
and one from Accutrace...for right at 5 times the cost
10 boards 4.5cm x 6.5cm came to about 110$ shipped to Texas
However, they are the only ones I have real (but limited) experience, and I've been very pleased with there service/quality, plus it appears they are USA based.
at least that way I can compare each of the sevices...
Thanks again for everyone's suggestions...
