Tempo Automation in San Francisco is trying to fill this gap in the market for prototype quantities of boards. I used them a couple of years ago and they did a good job for a good price. Looking at their website now (http://www.tempoautomation.com/) it appears they've expanded into fabbing the board for you as well as assembling it.
