Hi all!

I'm thinking pf ordering SE/30 reloaded mobos from PCBWay. Of course, there is the whole minimim of 5 thing. This quote seems pretty decent, and I'm looking for 3 or 4 others interested. I promise I won't make a profit. The config is firm, as I'm building an NGE themed system, so the color choice is very importamt to me! As is the quality and durability of the traces.

DM if you want in on the funnn!

OUCH! $411.28?! Are you also having them populated with birdseed, or are these bare boards? JLCPCB may be a more financially acceptable price.

With JLC, I payed around $200 for five boards with bottom side populated. These were plain green boards with no gold finish though.

Oh snap! Thanks for the tip.

Also, I like how JLC's site actually has a search field and doesn't offend the senses.

I'm now looking for a local (or domestic) PCB manufacturer. I've read too many nightmares about the big two while researching this fabrication stuff.

Anyone got any recs?

OSHPark is US based...but prepare to have your wallet reamed.

JLCPCB is who i used for all of my Classic and SE reloaded board runs. The latest SE/30 reloaded board run of 50, was done by JLCPCB.
