It's BUFF I feel sorry for.

He'll be wandering the streets, shouting at traffic, wearing nothing but an electronic photo frame and a tin foil hat.

Thank you for the kind thoughts but you've just scarred for life everyone that has actually met me - that's a horrible image!

i didn't realise this was BUFF

Seems odd though, as apart from motherboards i've never seen anything else abit branded. How can starting in a new market be more cost effective than streamlining your current operations?

universal abit make a wide range of things.. just under different names... IIRC Abit make the isotope cases that scan stock...

what we see as Abit is just a small sector of the main company... (even if it does have a prime dominance over their website )

BUFF has a woolly hat. I've seen it

At least his head will be dry whist he curses the gods shouts at traffic in the rain.

Dang, bought an Abit board from Scan a few months back for a mATX E8400 system. First time I'd bought an Abit board since a BE6 for my Pentium III 450 (I think!) and couldn't believe the overclocking and tweaking options for a mATX board. Add in a load of onboard goodies and bargain price and I couldn't believe the quality and value.

Ah well, at least there are plenty of other horses in the motherboard race to keep the competition and quality high. You build PCs long enough you get used to the ebb and flow of hardware corporations.

I wonder where their m'board gurus will go.
