  1. Custom Errors by Myriad · · Score: 5, Funny
    Instead of using lights or mere beeps to tell you about its Power On Self Test progress, it speaks its errors,in a quite comprehensible female voice.

    The P4B also comes with a Windows utility that lets you convert WAV files to make your own error messages.

    In related news, Asus will begin shipping the Custom Error Pack with errors including:
    - I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that!
    - It's Microsofts Fault - Really!
    - BSOD my ass!
    - Doh!
    - Need Beer!
    - I've been Slashdotted!
    and many more!
