Just got a discount code from tayda electronics... So if any of you guys order your parts there: "EB99922" will get you 10% discount. I don't use tayda, so I don't need it. First come, first served.. idk if it's working for multiple people or one time use only.

here is a list of very reasonably priced PCB fabricators that can do very small to medium batches of your prototype PCB. they are cheap because they combine small orders onto a panel and send to another fabricator. they are like a middle man. in no particular order

Ok I have a question. I know you can buy thing from Mammoth, PPP, Mouser, 4site...etc. Here's my question. Where are they buying from? Obviously they turn a profit and have to buy in huge quantities. I'm just curious. I mean direct from Hammond for Hammond boxes I would assume, but other things?

I know that Mammouth buys from the distributor 4Site Electronics.
http://www.4siteelectronics.com/

Mouser gets their products straight from the manufacturer and has tons of warehouses around the globe. Xircom, Panasonic, TDK etc all direct.
