Its real, boards will ship, its just that we _thought_ we were sharing it with a few forum members and LOLing it up... Now we're being hammered. All good. Tomorrow we start doing stencils and bigger quantities too.

Also: dirtycircuits.com will do routing! dirtycables.com will do custom cables! It's a dirty world!

Panelising is interesting... Most forbid it, our house calls and asks if it's ok to panelize small boards :) Imagine that! They charge $2 for it, but whatever. We did Hacker Camp Shenzhen this week and made everyone's PCBs as part of the camp. The board house panelized anything that would fit!

Now, quality fade may set in. It might get crappy over time... however we're prepared! It's dirty boards after all!

Thanks for the earnest comments, I made the site as a joke cause I live in China and you have no clue what the markup on your boards are... But I think you missed the joke...

A. Get your head outta the sand and take a look around, our prices copy existing services just without all the bull.

1. The top header has that info, not sure how you missed it...

2. Yeah, we like it dirty and we don't want your business. Don't put up with it, go somewhere else...

3. Finish the quote, don't select the random bit that proves your point. This is for open source hardware, we WANT to share and propagate. Take our stuff China, please!

4. We don't care. Pay a ton of handling fees or do the environment a favor and go local. We want to drop stuff off to xiao dou (Mr. Little Bean) at espeed in Huaqiangbei and be done with it. Can't be assed to do more at these prices...

Thanks for the compliments on the site. It's amazing what 12 hours of PHP/Javascript/MYSQL coding and a case of Tsing Tao can get you.

:P

Holy shit. I'm ian, I did this. This was an inside joke and a weekend hackathon, never meant to be public. We will ship orders but it really is a joke. I mean... you like it dirty and you're back for more... where are my damn pcbs? I thought it was obvious lol. All the backend is there and boards are proper, we have a logistics company, but its really just a joke that went too far. It started cause we saw people bitching about cheap pcbs having bad silks and I'm like, well its dirt cheap dirty boards... thanks for the post though, were sitting in Shenzhen with a dozen hackers eating hot pot loling it up :)
