My current mobo has LED post codes.

I hate it with a passion. The manual doesn't list that the CPU led and MEM led are lit when the +5V rail is too low from too much load on it from the USB devices.

though thinking about it I should probably figure out WHY that's a problem

Yeah the LEDs can be confusing. I like the fancy systems that have an eight-segment LED display (those basic ones that can show numbers and some letters) that show an error code. My work PC (a Lenovo ThinkStation) has the error code display on the front of the PC so you don't even have to open it to determine the issue.
