sfled's Journal: Cheap stuff breaks. Film at 11.

No news there. Capacitors on cheap mobos are leaking, causing system failure. Hmmm. Buy a good mobo from a realiable, long-lived vendor. The price dif. of $50 to $100 spread over 3 or 4 years is just too small when you consider the value of the your data.

Now, if I were a marketer (shudder) for a maker of quality-priced mobos, I would definitely be spreading the word about cheap components...
