Vector  and  Global Specialists both make boards similar to the above.
Digi-key and other companies carry it.
All strips are tinned for easy soldering and traces may be cut
with an X-acto knife, razor blade (single :-), kitchen knife, meatcleaver,
blunt screwdriver,eh, and if you're really desperate, a hot soldering iron
held too long in one spot :-)  Anyway, you can get the thing from
design to completion very fast.  

A nicer system for finished products consists of a plastic board and copper
traces of various traces and sizes that you glue on (and drill holes for).
The end product looks like a pro circuit board !
(can be found in Newark catalog)
