Are these any good?
ECS should be synonymous with, "don't waste your money on crap"
Spend even $100 more on components and you'll have a *much* better
system. ECS is SE Asian crap with no manufacturing standards; it's
designed to hit the american consumer market with a *very* short planned
obsolescence period in mind.
Trust me, you don't want it.
I have a ECS K7S5A (something or other) that's been running great with
no issues since 2001. I also have a box at my office with an ECS
K8T890-A with no issue either.
