Very nice, I just got my reflow oven up and working so I plan to fab about 17 boards coming up soon, if anyone is interested in a fully built and test board let me know.
If the demand is high enough I will fab even more. I have a working reflow oven now so I can do a bunch.

Hi Eric,
One for me as well, depending upon price and shipping to here in the UK. A fully populated board would be great as my soldering skills are no longer very good due to the illnesses and operations i've recently had.

Great to hear guys, I just made the solder stencil today for the new Rev B boards and should start production on them as soon as I have the time. Probably wednesday I will start the first boards. I will post again when I get some boards fully fabed.
Also bear with me I have a couple people that have some boards reserved that I must send out first, but after that I will produce boards in the order I receive the request.
Also Mel, sorry to hear about the health issues. I'm glad to see it has not deterred you from coiling.

The price per board fully assembled and Tested is going to be $125 each + shipping or $25 per blank board + shipping. Each board will be unequally serial# coded and date stamped at time of testing for quality control. The boards will also include both fibers RX units, Vreg heatsinks and headers already soldered in unless otherwise requested.
Here are some photos of the custom stencils, cut using a 50 Watt laser cutter. The material used was nothing more than overhead projector paper/slides. It seems to have worked rather well. Hopefully tonight after work I can fab my first board and see how the whole process works.

The components are all in the BOM and can be acquired threw mouser or digikey farnell etc... .
Typically the parts will run you between $45 and $50 with shipping included. The blank boards I'm selling for $25. Shipping will be super cheap. I can send it via USPS in an envilop, so probably under $5 shipping even for a fully fabbed board. International shipping will probably be a bit more.
EDIT:
It looks as if I can ship internationally for about $15, this will be the same for assebled and blank boards.
Did a quick price up for components at Farnell. Including their minimum order for some components (10 caps of each value ect..) It would be around £40 without the fiber modules. The Fiber modules cost around £13 for the 2412 and £5 for the IFD95.
Just in case no one saw I have about 10 unpopulated REVA boards that are electrically tested left over that I am getting rid of for £8 each including postage.
