What is the pacing factor? It used to be PC boards; but now their price has come down to where it's pretty insignificant today for a front-port or card-reader-port module-sized board. I've been using DirtyPCBs.com recently, getting 100 or 200 postage-stamp-sized boards for $28 for the whole lot, including shipping, and the last was $40 total because I paid for expedited shipping. That's forty cents a board. One lot came to fourteen cents a board.
