"UXD P.H.D.PCI2 System Diagnostic Card"
I received a number of inquiries on pricing - UXD does not publish prices in order to protect their International Distributors. However, UXD is offering "All customers who mention Overclockers.com when they call in for pricing will receive a nice discount" (their emphasis).

I purchased this tool from UXD a while back and have been using it to burn-in motherboards and test systems for overclocked stability. I recently received an upgrade to P.H.D.PCI2 and thought a look at the newer version would be of interest.

This is not "all or nothing" testing - you can set test parameters such that only one or a few items will be tested. In addition, you can print out test results if you need a paper record. This newer version also includes two ports for temperature monitoring of individual components using thermal probes (not included). What's also nice is that the card can be updated with UXD's latest testing software as the card uses a flash ROM.
In use, you select among three different modes:
