ABIT's nForce4 SLI Fatal1ty
ABIT was showing off their new nForce4 SLI Fatal1ty board:
Just like their previous Fatal1ty motherboards, ABIT moved the on-board audio onto a separate card to reduce interference and improve sound quality:
The uGuru panel also ships with the board and now occupies a 5.25" drive bay. The panel features a CMOS reset button, which can be quite useful.

That cmos reset button on Abit's front panel is pretty cool, if not somewhat of a gimmick. It just seems that the mobo mfgrs don't bother in asking the customers what we really want. If a mobo has a great bios then it's lacking in controllers or if it has higher DIMM voltage settings then it has ridiculous colors and LEDs.Doormat - Wednesday, June 1, 2005 - link
Wow, a PC-based cablecard tuner is being held up by DRM requirements? What a surprise. Mark my words it'll never make it to market. I'd venture to say that we might see CC 2.0 tuners for a closed platform like the Xbox360 or PS3 (to turn it into a Tivo-like device), but never for a standalone PC. The MPAA would have to fall apart before a PC cablecard tuner will be allowed to be sold in the US.Waylay00 - Wednesday, June 1, 2005 - link
