I say A-sus all the time. I heard of the other ones also A-suh-ss, Ah-sue-ss, As-ses in a computer store before. It does make me laugh.

I've spent countless hours with Asustek's tech support over the phone for I guess a decade now.  I was told long ago it's been a running gag around the U.S. branch where they'll intentionally say multiple pronunciations of "Asus" during phone calls, etc. just for fun.  Asustek's tech support are some of the most knowledgeable and tech savvy people I've ever talked to and make troubleshooting hardware a lot more fun.  There are some true hardware geeks that work there and seem like they have a lot of fun there.

I agree!  Great group - they're one of the few places that doesn't give me a headache when it comes to tech support.  I had no idea about the name pronunciation thing though o.o I just figured they were mildly retarded on that front, haha!
