Anyone know if this is a good product to pin point faults?

I don't know about that particular product, but I bought a very
expensive POST card many years ago and I think I've used it two or
three times over the years. YMMV.

Finding out which circuit on a motherboard is dead isn't exactly helpful.
Unless you're going to go get a soldering iron and start rebuilding it. Most
people don't do that.
Most of the time if a motherboard is dead, you replace it, or replace the
whole computer if it's too old. If some other part is busted, it's easy
enough to figure out

Actually, I wanted to post back because a good friend (and respected
colleague) just told me he had bought the card in the link below and
was very happy with it:

For that price, I'm going to buy one too. I love Geeks.com - they are
totally reliable and have lots of great stuff. My friend said the card
was very useful in diagnosing a box he was working on, down to letting
him know the power supply connection wasn't tight.

The price makes it reasonable enough, but even so, I don't think I'd bother.
The majority of my work ends up being software related, and the hardware
stuff is usually easy enough to figure out.
In a different environment, it might be useful, though.
