serial ports

[Trevor Astrope]

I bought an Asus board a year ago and the standard serial cables would not
reach to the back of the case. I had a custom cable made for it. I've 
heard of others routing the port to the front of the case. ymmv

In that case, if they only need about a $4 bracket and cable, this wouldn't take much selling at all, as any price increase would be due to having a better board rather than to having the com port header. That being said, I would look at the $100 boards from these manufacturers rather than the $50 and $60 boards. The $100 and higher boards have newer and better technology in most cases, and are probably more likely to have the header.
