What Asus boards exactly -- meaning the model numbers -- did you fry? Does "fry" mean the boards became completely useless and unbootable, or just that certain components died?
I think I did hotplug either a keyboard or mouse in my Asus P4T533 board and wonder if I made a mistake there. I've been hotplugging both into all my machines with apparently no problems except on the P4T533 board.
