Abit doesn't suck. They might have a high RMA rate but their products are generally some of the most tweakable bundles of joy you could ask for.

Damn, no logo on my KK266-R box. Search for case logo continues!
Guess I'll stick with the "Compatible with Windows 98" sticker I peeled off something for now.

You'll generally find the logos on most of the motherboard boxes. Companies like to show that their products got reviewed or what not. ;)

I purchased my ABIT KT7-Raid in January, 2001. It had the Anandtech logo on the box...an EDITOR'S CHOICE Anandtech logo, BTW! To my knowledge, this type of accolade isn't given away like candy.

Funny; I might not be the most tech-savvy or the most experienced system builder on this forum (uh, yeah...I rate, like, #11,343 out of 11,344.) But I had zero probs w/my Abit board. I must admit that the RMA rate of the KT7A/Raid are well documented..so I won't even go there, but I think folks bash Abit way too much. My board has been nothing but stable. To be fair, I purchased an Iwill KK266 for a rig I built for my GF (it has onboard sound...tried to save money) and it came w/a dead AGP slot. Would I purchase an IWill mobo in the future? Maybe. It WAS rated very highly by AT as well as you guys and other online sites. Just because I heard of a bad experience (heh, actually, I EXPERIENCED the bad experience!) doens't mean I write off the manufacturer as crappy. There's a lot of variables involved that could affect how the mobo ultimately perfoms. Like shipping. One mobo used as a ramp to change a flat on UPS truck = dead AGP slot or worse. I like Abit. I will go away now. But only for a minute! :)

When I was at BXBoards, they put our logo on Abit's boxes too. Iwill also I think.

They would ocassionally write us to ask whether we would allow our logo on their box.

Actually- LOL

BXBoards logo is still coming out on new boxes even tho we gave up on the site almost 4 months ago. =-)

ahhh *Shrug*
Fun to see your 'baby' being circulated around a lot. =-)
