    Re: best brand?

    comes down to preference, taste and what you need/want. But top of the line is prolly Asus and Gigabyte
    My advice - never visit a short-url, no matter who gives it to you. You can't trust any source at any time when you don't know your target
    Whitey:Snuggles: Zotac Zbox HD-ID40 (Atom d525, worst purchase ever on cpu), Patriot Pyro 60GB (Thanks to Tweaktown Giveaway), 4GB 800' DDR2 SO-DIMM
    Bcube (NAS): ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe, AMD A6-3500 @ 2.1GHz, LSI 9240-8i (M1015) controller, GSkill Ares 1866 8GB blue kit, 4x Seagate SV35.5 2TB, 1x Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB, 1x Samsung HD103UJ, 1x Samsung F4 2TB, Temp. Rebel9 Alu case, Corsair H60, 2x Icy Dock MB973SP-B, NZXT UI01, Enermax T.B. Silence on docks and cpu, Aurum 500W gold PSU. (Draws 65W average, doesn't peak above 100W at any time)

      I would also add MSI to the list, they've made tremendous improvements recently and reviews of their newer boards put them in the top tier list. Some (all?) of their newer boards come with a five year warranty. The best board is a reasonably priced unit that uses high quality components and gets very positive reviews from the best review sites.

      What are your needs? Desktop setup? HTPC? Gaming? Overclocking?
