I can do the assembly if you don't mind a trip out to Barrhaven.

 Hi,
 I recently
 used Smart-Prototyping.com to print, assemble, and ship 5
 copies of a 10cm x 10cm, 1.6cm thick, 2-layer, board. I used
 Fritzing to design it, and it had something like 150 pins on
 each board. I was able to send it to them without too much
 hassle (I think I had to re-send some of the files or export
 them to images so they could see the labels, that might have
 been a bug in my version). Everything turned out fine, the
 cost was a bit high (~$50 each with shipping, any customs
 from DHL, and the boards + manufacturing + them ordering the
 parts) but they came quickly (within a week of finishing the
 order request) and seem totally functional. They also sent
 me spares of whatever components they needed to order
 again.
 Seeed is
 another good one if you can use just their components. It
 works out to be cheaper.
 I don't know anyone else who
 does PCB manufacturing AND assembly. I wish there was a
 better solution.
 I
 intend to revise my board design in the future into smaller
 PCBs, and I'll probably use Smart-Prototyping again (it
 would be so tedious to do 32 0602 surface mount
 LEDs...).
 Cheers,Joseph

 I would like to
 design a very small footprint PCB and have a small quantity
 of boards built. I know that there are companies that offer
 their own proprietary sw to design these PCB's and and
 upload the design online. They will take care of the
 building, source components etc. 
 Has anyone used any of these
 companies before? What are some of the things that I should
 look out for? 
 Thanks,Natasha
