Is Abit Back?

Just spotted this UK Abit B760i ITX board on the bay. Is Abit back in business?

 

[Tetras]

No.

Abit officially closed in 2009. The company in name only is owned by a Chinese company.

Good old ABIT!

If they do come back, I hope they have found a better capacitor supplier than what they used to use!!!

Lost count of the number of Abit boards (some other brands as well, but mostly Abit) I replaced leaking/blown capacitors on back around the turn of the century (maybe even before its been too long to remember specifically now)/

I have fond and not so fond memories of Abit boards, mainly the issues with the old via chipsets and things like creative labs cards, and of course the dead KA7 that had the bad caps.

They were the glow in the dark/fluorescent plastic laden boards from memory, were they not?

That's them, at least with their Lanparty range, hideous boards but they were great products.

Shout out to Epox too.
