Motherboards with LED POST readout.

ArcticMonkeyArcticMonkey Registered User regular
After my last PC did not have this most essential* feature I'm looking for a 775 motherboard with one now that I'm thinking about another upgrade.
The most promising I found so far is Abit IP35 Pro, but that card has a lot of stuff I don't want to pay for.
So does anyone have a list of motherboards with a LED, or can recommend a 775 ddr2 card with one?

*(It's a LED screen with 2 numbers that tell you exactly why your PC don't start. It's the kind of thing that will cut down troubleshooting from days** to minutes)
**(sometimes you don't have compatible stuff to test with)

    I can't help with your question but FWIW right now Newegg has that motherboard with a $50 MIR, so you're looking at $130.

    You could get a POST card?
    I mean, I guess that only works if your PCI slots are still good, but this way you could buy one thing and use it on all your motherboards...

    Great suggestion Tofystedeth, will order a cheaper version of that on Ebay.

    Organichu, I wish I could order stuf from NewEgg. Instead I live where we have 11.5 $ a gallon gas :P
    Todays price where I live in Norway

    I generally buy epox motherboards exclusively now because they have this POST 7 segment readout. So damn handy. And they usually aren't that expensive atall.

    Epox is what I had one PC ago, but I'm pretty sure the company is dead. The norwegian hardware price list has zero epox cards listed, newegg has zero and http://www.epox.com/ is copyrighted 2005.

    You know I haven't looked in awhile and you seem to be entirely correct. Man, now I'm wondering what I'll go to. No one is selling them anymore either. Suck. I couldn't find any with a 7 segment display on a quick search of major vendors on newegg. Damn.

    Asus and Abit both offer boards with 7-Seg displays for POST data.
