OSH Park

OSH Park is a super resource for hobbyists looking to fabricate printed circuit boards.  It is a board aggregation service: you send in your design, your design gets aggregated with others' designs onto one big board, and when there are enough designs to fill a big board, the order is sent out.

Started as a part-time service for fellow hobbyists, it has grown so popular that Laen (check out this fascinating interview), the person behind OSH Park, has quit his day job to run this fulltime.  The big boards now get sent out several times a week.  OSH Park has even bought SparkFun's competing BatchPCB service!

OSH Park prices 2-layer PCBs at an unbelievably low $5 per square inch, for three boards, and throws in free shipping!  Their boards have a unique purple color.  If you see photos of purple-colored PCBs on the web (e.g. open-sourced projects), they likely used OSH Park's service.
