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.
