I recently had some boards done by these guys and I can say without
reservation that they did a SUPER JOB.  The existence of this company
totally changes the price/time landscape of plated-through hole double
sided boards.

I used to pay (er, have MIT pay) nearly $500 for a few boards and wait
a full week for them.  With APC, I can pay just $100 and have the
boards in 2.5 days (e.g., get them the files Sun night, have the
boards in my hands by noon on Wednesday).

My only wish is they would offer a fast low cost solder mask option.

This has been an unsolicited, uncompensated product testimonial :-).
