Abit To Close Its Doors Forever On Dec. 31, 2008

Posted by kdawson on from the then-there-were-fewer dept.

ki1obyte writes "Earlier this year the Taiwanese firm Abit, once a leading-edge maker of computer mainboards and other components, was slated to shut down motherboard production by the end of 2008 and focus on consumer electronics devices. Now X-bit labs reports that Abit will cease to exist entirely after midnight on the last day of 2008 because the owner of the brand, Universal Scientific Industrial, is in the process of restructuring and cutting their costs."

    Ow, and i thought that was Massive Dynamic.. seems like even they need to cut costs these days. Do they still make those USB-attachable drug submersion brain interconnection tanks?
