I'm more interested in quick response than price (to a point obviously), and I don't mind having to get three copies of a board. However, I would like to be able to send Eagle files rather than learn a new program (especially if it only runs on Windows).
You don't need to learn a new program - just use the post processing (cam) jobs from Eagle to generate Gerber files.The only place that I know off, where you can get PCB's made from Eagle files is Olimex in Bulgaria. If you're willing to pay for delivery by courier, it usually takes from 3-5 days of processing time plus 1-3 days for the courier transport - is that fast enough?(I don't think you'd get it any faster if you used a local manufacturer - au contraire).
Unless you're an experienced PCB designer ace, it may be a good idea to post your PCB files here for tips and advice before ordering a PCB from them, as there are many pitfalls.
Did you consider making PCB's yourself?
hi Joe,you don't say what country you live in.for anywhere in Europe i would agree with Soeren that Olimex are one of the better options. they are a little eccentric to deal with (you need access to a fax machine for payments...) but they are helpful and used to dealing with hobbyists. if you need traces smaller than 8 mil then http://www.eurocircuits.com/ are good too.i believe if you are in Asia or the Americas you will find a quicker option closer to home.dunk.
