Enough parts for 20 boards cost me about 100 pounds; the board fabrication cost about $60, but a lot of that was because I wanted it in a rush. All up, that works out to about 8 pounds, or 13 USD per board. It'd be somewhat cheaper - around $10-$11 - if you're not in a rush for the boards, and of course cheaper again in larger quantities.

Hmmm. did he have any indication of cost?

Yea that's interesting. Would be interesting to see how this scales when you start including more complex components.
For instance a board with a 10GigE connector or putting a clock onto the board itself.
7400 logic is fairly cheap. the biggest cost was probably getting the boards made.
