Just don't know how well ECS brand will hold up compared to ASUS or MSI. Looks decent though.

Funny thing, was about to comment on the sound chip and suggest they could have made a better choice. However, it's good to see ECS making a come-back with such a strong offering. Would definitely go with a SoundBlaster card for audio. Of course I do that anyway.

ECS has always been a brand that aimed at mid-range and budget market sectors, and they did so with quality offerings. Seems like they have kicked it up a notch with an offering of a solid board with all of the essential features. It would be interesting to see a review.
