Really? We bought that EXACT motherboard.. 10 to be exact and we've had 
9 fail and the 10th is on its way to major failure.. the odd thing is 
that 10th one was the first one purchased and that was 6 months ago.



I haven't had failures like that since the late 90's capacitor plague!

Thinking more about the 10 failures, I wonder if they were grey market boards 
that got re-sold instead of sent back for remanufacture. Some dealers can be 
less than reputable when margins get tight, and some are just plain bastards.
