Does anyone know of a place that does cheap one off pcbs in Australia. I think i need only about 5 to be made and they are about 50 x 30 mm big (more like small). I have been looking for months without much success.

Thankyou for the response to my request Xecuter. Was that 150 for 5, I sure can afford but 150 per board well I think I need to do some saving. I understand that there are costs involved when manufacturing boards such as materials, setups, downtime due to you can't manufacture your own products and programming of machines. Here is a little bit of information that may help reduce costs.
Xbox 360 Aftercooler
All credit of the original schematic belongs to RGJTech
The pcb is single sided and with non plated holes
The size is 55 x 40 mm
The hole count is:
3 @ 0.61mm
35 @ .81mm
8 @ 1.00mm
13 @ 1.02
6 @ 1.112
I understand that some of these holes sizes may be changed to streamline the process.
The software designed to ceate the circuit board is Eagle 5.6.0 Light
Only one sided needs to be silkscreened as I have the materials required to seal off the copper layer.
I also have the required components and able to install them myself. All of the components are through hole based if you think it is cheaper to make the circuitboard smd based let me know.
Also may I have a quote for 10 if this will help reduce costs. I am only making these for the console that my family, friends and I own cause I can't find a market for this product in the region I live, but thats got nothing to do with it.
With a few extra mods to the design I found out I can also use this to shut off the led fader effect when one of those boards are installed on the ring of light.

It is basically a cooldown timer for the 360 so when i turn it off the fans will still run from 0 to 5 minutes. I weas just seeing if anyone here knows of any pcb producers that will do them for cheap. I would of made them myself but I don't have the right equipment to create tracks as small as i require them.
Well after a while I was able to find one in Australia called Amiga Electronics and they gave me some rather interesting quotes such as (all dollars are in Australian):
5 for $115 = $23.00 each
10 for $125 = $12.50 each
50 for $175 = $3.50 each
Well if I decide to take the 10 or 50 qty amount I might have some for sale in the BST section as either blank pcb, kit or preassembled.
