The good, the bad and the damn right waste of time.

The Good: . I cant stress how much I love this Shuttle and will shed a small tear as a send it back (not until they ask for it though).

The Bad: I killed the Ethernet port on the ECS board in the pic below during testing yesterday evening.

The Damn Right Waste of Time: ECS, period. Lately we’ve had endless trouble with them. Ive had one board which smoked, got a replacement but we then found out ECS werent even going to sell those so we’re waiting on one which they are. Stability is rarely achieved, (it’s a continual experience with every new board of, “It works! WOW!”) and it wastes everyones time when we get a board that fails within 5 minutes of Prime95, if it even works at all or dies half way through something. Despite the fact they’re full of holes they cant design enthusiast boards for the life of them and I have a list of improvements as long as my arm that I’d love to offer them to build something people might want to actually buy. *grumble grumble*
