I repeat, I have not had many hardware problems. I always buy good parts, Asus MBs, Antec Cases, etc, much better stuff than the so called name brands, which use crap parts and short cuts.

Hardware is reliable. Software gets fucked up.


Here's to Asus motherboards! I own two, one's in my server and one's in my main PC. Nothing like the Opterons you're running, the main PC has a Mobile 2400+ (was the best bang-for-the-buck at the time, overclocked to 11.5 x 200 mhz fsb, 2.3 ghz total), the server is a XP 2400+ (Thorton core, 13 x 133 mhz fsb, 2 ghz total).
