This Instructable outlines the process of preparing to get your circuit designs fabbed into professional PCBs. It walks you through, from designing the schematic to preparing the Gerber files to finding a fabber and ordering your job. And yes, they got theirs done in China. We’ll leave the moral, political, and environmental decisions in that regard up to you.

I just received some PCBs from Gold Phoenix of China. They look great and the ordering process was easy. You do have to wait 10-12 days however.
I posted pictures of the boards I ordered from Gold Phoenix raw and populated at my blog. There is something magical about having your project made into a PCB.
