I do my boards a bit differently.  I use single-sided FR4 PCB, 
usually 0.060" thick and drill holes for the pins and punch them in 
(slighly countersinking the foil side).  It's only a little more work 
than using the gridded-out-lots-of-pins protoboards, but more than 
makes up for it in that components are easy to identify (no "forest 
of pins" effect) and presents a ground plane that's second to none.
