That's because it's not there. Only the Pro version has on/off and reset buttons on the motherboard.

Thanks, I'm in for a couple.
These seem like nice boards for personal use and for putting together cheap systems to help upgrade the family's old Win98 era antiques. It's perfect that they take DDR2 up to 8GB when the DDR2 sticks are soooo cheap (historically speaking) right now, and also S775 since another couple of generations of S775 processors will be in "close-out" sales over the next month too. Great time to get upgrade MB / RAM / CPU deals!
I figured an extra $10 over the Newegg MIR price was worth NOT having to hassle with an ABIT rebate (which several people in the Newegg IP35-E deal thread are complaining is long overdue and they continually get the brush off on inquiries when the call about it).
Apparently they recently didn't even have a valid mail-to address on their rebate form for that NewEgg deal, so who knows how many thousands of people may not even get their rebates at all or without a lot of hassle due to that.
And it seems like it always takes a long time to fill out all the rebates, double check them, make the copies, etc. That's got to be worth $10 in my time, especially over spending almost $4 to send it certified mail and go to the post office for that etc.

I haven't looked in any detail, or at the ABIT manual at all, but....
According to this fellow, yes:

I keep seeing people post there Abit rebate only took about a month. but not for me.
I ordered my IP35-E 11/22/2007, I do procrastinate on rebates, but i am sure i got it mailed out within a month, so like 12/20/2007.
And i finally got my check about a week ago.
thats 2, almost 2 1/2 months, ohwell atleast I got it, I did not call or anything, as I usually wait about 3 to 4 months before i call, and it showed approved on the abit website for all that time too.
I wasn't really worried about getting it, it just took awhile.
I don't know why????
Also this motherboard can be picky about ram, great board I love it, but i have like 12gb of ram from all the ram deals, and some of it would not even boot in this board, where as it worked fine in several 965P, 650i and AMD AM2 OEM chipset boards just fine.

That's my one concern about buying this board from Buy.com: their sales velocity has to be considerably less than Newegg's. Most recent punters are reporting BIOS 15 boards from Newegg, but Buy.com boards are more likely to have been sitting round for a while. I believe one needs at least BIOS 14 to run Wolfdales on this board? This is critical to me since I plan on installing an E8400 on it, and I haven't got any other LGA 775 chips sitting about.
Extremely tempting to avoid rebate hassle, and even without Google checkout it only comes to a few dollars more than I'd pay net for a Newegg board after tax, postage, rebate.
Edit: according to the OP they sold out at Buy.com and were then replenished. They may be newer boards then? Would anyone who's received a board from Buy.com be able to report the BIOS rev?
