ABIT Cancels Computex Booth:

We talked a bit about companies canceling their Computex appearances due to SARS, it seems that ABIT is the first to cancel their booth. While this is unfortunate, it is the right thing to do under the circumstances.

Owing to the strict quarantine measures imposed by the Taiwan government on visitors from Hong Kong, China, Canada and Singapore because of the threat of SARS, and the subsequent cancellation of most visitors to Computex, ABIT has decided not to have a booth at this year's show. Although Computex authorities are still deciding weather the show will be cancelled or postponed, ABIT has decided it is in the best interests of our partners and customers not to exhibit at this years show.

ABIT had planned to display our new ABIT Engineered product line, including the Fastest PC in the World, featuring an BH7 motherboard, Vapochill cooling system and Kingston DDR RAM, as well as our igaSystemT featuring an IC7-G with a Vapochill and Kingston RAM. Instead, we will host visitors at our Neihu headquarters.
