If you can take optimal advantage of the 5x5cm 10pc deal, the price is
under .40 per sq inch.
 But that's the best case scenario.

 Dorkbot is closer to  1.66 square in. Which is still  pretty good in
my book for the quality and speed you receive.

Shipping is included in the above. All have certain restrictions, but
nothing  too limiting.
These services are all fairly recent, and have really made be rethink
some of my in-house pcb prototyping, especially when i can afford the
time.

For small boards it's a really great deal. For larger boards (which
most of my clock designs need), I don't think it's quite the same
bargain. (that's a somewhat subjective opinion on my part).

But a really nice thing about these services is they allow ANYBODY who
wants to design their own pcbs, to do so and get them cheaply made
without having to resort to the chemicals and complexity of doing it
themselves in house. I make a lot of prototype pcbs  myself, and it
does get tiresome after a while  (but you can't beat the speed).

BTW, I think most of these places will take  EAGLE files directly.
Makes it even easier for some hobbyists.
