    Debug LED's: Why don't more mobos have them?

    Rant on: I'm not sure how you all feel about the usefulness of Debug LED's on mobos, but I wouldn't mind having them on my mobos. I hark back to my EPOX mobos days and their Debug LED's. Why don't more companies use them? They can't be terribly expensive to include. Heck, EPOX used them...
