Perhaps BKKcoins can recommend someone from his country?

I'm assuming assembly in Thailand would be ALOT cheaper then in the US or EU.

I may look into this later after having a working board and if no board assembler steps up with a more attractive offer. The cost for board assembly in the US/EU is insane. Hundreds of $$ each, obviously aimed more at specialist prototyping, as nowadays any real cost effective production must be done in Asia.

I can tell you that there are many board assemblers in Thailand. Large producers like Western Digital, Seagate, Nikon, AMD and many more are here making products, and there are support industries around these. And then there are small shops. It's probably no easy feat to find the right combination of quality and price. I had an inquiry from someone in Bkk on the forum, back a few weeks ago, who wanted to set this type of thing up, but my recent messages to him have been ignored so maybe he's moved on to something else.

another question for that is the ce, rohs certificate and an invoice because without export/import in eu is a problem.
and if we can arrange a better quantity the price should be lower (but think if something is sold from a company the guarentee must be considered and so there is some profit for handle that)

@bkk I will send you a pm with some questions.

Update: serialnumber can be done from the assembler with different methods: sticker, lasered, ... what you need and pricing is not much (have no detailed price)
