    I've seen PC Partner quite many times, they weren't anything good but they did their job quite well not giving any problems.

    On the other hand, TOMATO Grrrrr ! and some shit by BioStar not to mention Abit

      Kruzin: wasn´t there a website where you can locate the motherboard manufacturer by the post code displayed at the botton of the screen?

      Nobody mentioned it yet, but Gigabyte were the most enjoyable and reliable boards I ever used. My ECS K7S5A is also going strong and troublefree.

      I had 2 Asus that were a complete nightmare but I´m willing to blame VIA on that.

      My Abit, of course, blew itself taking the cpu with it

      Curiously enough a friend still uses a ´96ish Matsonic/P200 I sold him on a daily basis and never had any problems.

        If I have plugged a damn lightdiode wrong and it playes dead than its shit!!)

          I might show this thread to the boss...but after today and yesterday, and the problems one of these machines gave me, I think he believes me.
          Whether or not it has changed his mind about a custom rig with quality parts remains to be seen.

          And yes....the mobos I am talking about are PCChips. Steve managed to find a couple pics of some of the very boards we have (ick)...

            What???

            PcChips is by far the best mobo maker out there! I'm currently using on to prop up a couch! Works great!
            Titanium is the new bling!

                Oh God. PC Chips? I wasn't even going to stoop that low. I can't believe anybody would buy something under the PC Chips brand after the FAKE CACHE.
