Hi Guy's

Can you give me some names of companies that make custom pcb's? The only company I know of is pcb express so if you all can tell me about some other I would be most grateful.

Thanks,
Nick

When you start a new thread, you have to claim that you tried searching which I am guessing is not the case here: Custom PCB Service Suggestion

I did and i didn't find what I was looking for. You assumed that I didn't. I think your reply is a tad rude.

I can't even find threads that I started and almost remember the exact title to sometimes.

If service is your primary concern, Avanti Circuits is really good. They usually quote within the hour and never ask stupid questions about gerber files. Not the cheapest.

I've dealt with a couple of PCB companies.

Production quality, tight spacing stuff:

At work we use Advanced Circuits, though, I haven't dealt with them personally:
Advanced Circuits

If you can live with the limited board area and options, Express PCB can be a good deal:

You have to use their (free) software, though. If you start looking at custom sized boards, you'd be better off going with other vendors (IMO).

A couple of weeks ago I just received about $200 worth of boards from Olimex. I really like their service and the price is right for low volume production or prototypes. They offer two standard board sizes - 10x16 cm (about 4x6 inches) and 20x32 cm (about 8x12 inches). You buy the board area do whatever you want with it (unlike many other companies). They are a bit limiting in terms of trace/space (min 8/8 mil) but for tube stuff that's hardly relevant. Olimex They accept Gerber files.
