Others seem to be under the impression that Epox is pretty much a dead issue as of lately. At least according to Wikipedia;
The German and Dutch subsidiaries of EPoX closed on 26.06.2007 after a financial scandal and poor management decisions put the company in great financial trouble. Anyone else have any input?

Regarding Foxconn, I do know they are a OEM manufactuer. Others reported their QC has risen in past years, but I'm usually not a fan of 'newer' MB manufactures as I would perfer to stick with established comapnies (which is why the 1st part of the question is here).
Input here?

Yeah Epox is dead, some of the former employees now make some products under the name "Supox".

Is the "S" for 'sucker'?

Even tho Supox sounds like a disease they do deserve a chance.

Foxconn is a good brand, they stick to the reference design and theyr previous nforce 590 board was the cheapest 590 board around (atleast overhere).
But cause ive nvr had one of their products i cant comment on how good their RMA service is or how good they are with bios releases.
