Got to PP Monday 28/07/2014. I had all required documents with letters from my university, etc.
I asked 2 different visa agents if they could help me get a Non B single entry (note that you cannot get a Non B multiple entry here, only single entry visas).
Both of the agents said because of the new situation in Thailand that I had to go to the embassy myself.
Okay fine I thought, I'll avoid the agent fee. The tuk tuk driver took me to the embassy, but i wasn't allowed in. Instead, I spoke to a police officer in a booth outside--he made a phone call, and connected me to an agent. He said he could get my visa in 3 days. He wouldn't accept less than 150 USD (80 for the visa).That's 20 dollars more than I paid last year but I agreed.
Left my documents and passport with the officer. I didn't leave any money initially.
The next day the agent called me claiming I needed to pay more for the standard 3 day turnover. I refused politely. I told him in a university teacher and not a wealthy businessman and we had already agreed on the $150 fee. I also mentioned that a $70 fee was quite high in the first place.
He begrudgingly agreed.
Received my visa 3 days later.
I will never come back to Phnom Pehn for my Non B again. I'm afraid that the new visa law has only succeeded in creating more lawlessness, at least here anyway.
Now of course your experience may differ, but I would advise against coming here for business visas currently.

Oh I'm a US citizen if that makes any difference.
Just wanted to share my experience. Cheers
