Front Panel
I like ASUS and always had good luck with them, but ABIT has a really cool
front panel to go with some of their boards. It is at: http://www.abit-usa.com/news/2005/20050511.php .. . . will ASUS ever do something like this? -g |

They botched the interconnect between the iPanel and the motherboard, causing problems for the customers who owned one. http://tomshardware.thgweb.de/2001/0...atz/page6.html J-Panel was a more modest effort. J-Panel was a disk drive tray mounting for some audio and USB connectors. It has been discontinued as far as I know. So Asus has done stuff like this, but has moved on to other things. They do the odd fancy display for some of their barebones computer products. Paul |

Front Panel
Looks like ipanel is no longer an ASUS product either, at least when I did a
search for ipanel on the ASUS website, it came up with nothing. Too bad ASUS does not consider it important because having a panel like that for my next build tempts me to switch to ABIT. -g |

Good luck trying to get one unless you buy a motherboard that ships with them, like the AN8 Fatal1ty SLI. Their scarcity and Abit's refusal to acknowledge my queries were one reason I ended up going with ASUS. |

That's kinda ridiculous, considering a host of third-party panels are available that would have given you nearly the same functionality (except for maybe voltage info and a switch to clear CMOS). |

Maybe Abit's got their act together. For months the Guru Panels were as scarce as hens' teeth, even in the States. If you're ever bored check out the Abit forums from 6ish months ago. |
