selecting components - pcb stripboards

For the channel strip modules and other PCB requirements I decided to go with stripboards rather than matrix boards, mostly because surprisingly I couldn't find a supplyer who stocked a matrix board with actual 1mm holes (they all say they are but when I ordered them and tried to fit the snap-in switches they wouldn't fit, and there was NO way I was going to drill out a few hundred holes as a work around. Stripboards were also fine because I could use the Dremmel to finely slice through tracks as needed, use wire-wrapping wire still and I found some good size very cheap ones from WES Components which ACTUALLY DID have 1mm holes (part#PCB119).
