    No, but how many PCBs are you talking about? Would it be cheaper to do your own?

    Just a prototype board. Looking at 10cm*10cm, two layers.. I can't really do it myself, don't have the equipment. Looks like most of them online are over €50

    If you don't mind ordering from china:

    itead studio

    €20 for 10 copies of a 10x10 2 layer board. 5x5's are less then 8 quid...

    I've used them and never had a problem. Others have reported that the quality control can sometimes be a little hit and miss but given the prices who cares. By all accounts they're quick to respond to any problems.

    What equipment? :D
    If you have a laser printer, try this; if not, you can get pens that use masking compound for ink and draw the PCB by hand on the board, then drop it into the tub of ferric chloride.

    But if it's just for prototyping, why not breadboard or wirewrap or veroboard?
