I have an Asus M2NPV-VM board for over a year now with no particular issues, it's my best desktop so far. A fresh install will require to fiddle with sound configurations so i won't get a constant annoying beep, but that's software. The fan is the most silent (if cou compare to the older PIIs i have laying around...). I'm happy with Asus, but i'll buy whatever seems reliable, regardless of logo.
Then again, i don't push it to the limit or run missing critical stuff on it. Maybe i will :) -- Nuno Magalhães
