Re: Epox EP-8KHA+ Recap

Update: I havent died, just been very busy with school and work.

I have *finally* received my catalog from digikey, and based on more reading here on the forums, especially in the FAQ area, I think I'll go with the Panasonic FC series. I've also gotten a second identical board from my professor to repair as well.
