I always buy from the "local" shop, all the Dfi ones (4) came
with at least one year warranty- from the shop.
None of the boards broke down yet:2 in the sig and 2 RS482's.
I can't say DFI sucks but I can say this:
DFI's spelling sucks big time
All BIOS'es have spelling errors like "dibasled" and so on.
But it's actually funny.
