Someone on another thread mentioned this circuit board manufacture service:

If the boards are so cheap, I was wondering about using flexible PCB's to replace small modules connected with wires. What I'd want to do would be to have little rectangular nodes with a few components on them, and then have a very narrow neck of flexible PCB maybe 2 or 3 inches long connecting to another node. This "neck" would need to be no more than 1/16 inch wide (1.5mm, if you don't like medieval units) and would need 4 electrical traces running between the nodes, 2 on each side of the PCB. I imagine that etching this type of board would be easy enough, but cutting it out might be problem for the manufacturer. Does anyone have some knowledge of how a board like this would be made, and what the limits on dimensions might be?
