Who to try and get some $ out of?
obob:
Ok A) ECS is like the 3rd largest motherboard maker in the world
B) I buy reliable mobos as a general rule, except when "the reliable companies" don't have what I need
C) i hate Asus
D) apparently newegg offers a 1 year warranty (ECS' warranty is 1 year, newegg claimed 90 day on RMA but then said 1 year, and gave me an RMA, goes in the mail tomorrow morning)
and as far as repairing it look at the picture...
hm_murdock:
Why do you hate Asus?
Lead Head:
ASUS has gone down hill since the Athlon 64 days on their AMD side, their intel side is still doing pretty good...
I have an ECS Socket 939 mobo, it works, does what I want it to.
EPoX, DFI, MSI, ASUS, ECS, Foxconn, Gigabyte are all good motherboard brands, newer ABITs tend to be really buggy
H_TeXMeX_H:
ASUS is only mobo company I've really ever bought from and so far all the boards are still working at full capacity ... nothing has ever broken, the oldest one now being about 14 years old or so. The other's ages vary like 3, 5, 8 years. I don't see any reason to hate them.
obob:
I just dislike their offerings/price, similar to Seagate pre-SATA II ($100 for 80GB ATA-100 and Maxtor had ATA-133 for $70, and this was before Maxtor tanked)
and Lead Head, you might wanna remove ECS from your post, that pic is an ECS P4 board, but atm i'm looking at ASRock (the irony is that it's an Asus owned company)
