Asus 3 year warranty: <http://support.asus.com/service/service_right.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&no=231> Supermicro 3 year warranty? <http://www.google.com/search?q=supermicro+motherboard+%22year+warranty%22> (Also known for their horrible support) Tyan 3 year warranty: http://www.tyan.com/archive/products/html/warranty.html A "server" motherboard might be better--it will certainly cost more. But the manufacturer won't guarantee it for more than 3 years. 3 years is probably the useful life of an Asterisk server anyway. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
