My disappointment with the Fata1ity products *in general* is that most of them don't appear to have any input from him... just his name.

The Zalman cooler is a great example. Would any person that cares about hardware endorse that? The Zalman case was another. The Abit Fata1ity SLI board was borderline unusable.

IF it was me, if a company wanted to release a product with my name on it, I would want to be involved in it's design/ bundle/ performance to make sure that even if it does end up costing more, my name is not being degraded.

I don't think Wendel has done that. He's let people take advantage of his name.
