Anyone have a source for discontinued Abit motherboards?

:( I need to find a new Abit BX133-RAID motherboard for a customer's terminal server that randomly reboots itself (3X today). They're running RAID1 so we want a direct replacement in the hope of avoiding a reload (don't want to lose the RAID w/a different controller). We've tried a new PSU and different RAM to no avail, so the mobo swap was our next step. If anyone can point me toward a supplier of obsolete Abit gear it would be most appreciated.

Ebay is your best bet. You may be able to find one now and then on some of the "for sale" forums here at AT or HardOCP and the like.

Have you checked the board for bad caps? It's reasonably likely that's your problem. Here's the story about it. If you do have bad caps you can send the board the Abit along with $25 and they'll fix it, or you can fix it yourelf or have someone who knows about this kind of thing fix it for you. Here's a guy who can replace the caps for you, I've had him do a few Abit boards for me and he's done a great job.
