Purchased on 1-7-2000 along with a AOpen case from a local company I have been dealing with for a long time. After everything was installed the motherboard would not reboot and the power button would not work to restart the computer after a reboot shutdown. Every time I would try to turn the computer on it would act like it was booting but no video no hard drive activity other than the hard drive self test. It just would not reboot, so I would have to turn off my UPS. The power button would not turn off the computer because it is a soft-power switch, that means if you have a problem you are really stuck by having to unplug power cord or flip a switch if you are lucky and have it plugged into a power strip or UPS. I tried every known setup in the BIOS. Changed video cards (different AGP cards) along with the frequency settings thinking because the video was not coming up that it might have something to do with the video card even tried PCI cards with no change. The video cards were the Diamond Fire GL1000 Pro, The VooDoo 3000, and I cant remember the PCI card, Windows 98 SE was the operating system, I had 64 Meg of memory, the processor was the 300mhz Intel Celeron. Well I wrote to Tech support and filled out there trouble report from their motherboard page and got back the auto-mailer eMail and have not heard another word since. I have been going through a divorce and have not had the time to chase them down for more answers. I will look at other choices from now on. So I give them two thumbs DOWN.
