I'm confused. Aren't you the same person who just put together some stuff that doesn't work well - or bought from a supplier that wasn't picky about parts?

Yes, the motherboard ended up being faulty. But what I said here is from a different supplier. I work with about 8 suppliers, and there's only supplier in the whole country who supplies Super Micro, but their after-sales support really sux, which is why I won't support them, and also why I can't use SuperMicro.
Currently, when one of my Dell's give hassles, Dell will come out within 4 hours to fix it up. On the stuff that I build myself, I can drive to a supplier and get a replacement component and have it swapped out within an hour. And since I use desktop type components, I can also use components from other suppliers, not just one.
