I been using ECS boards for our custom builds at the store for a bit over a year now. They are reliable and decent performing boards for the average user and/or light gamer.
But I wouldn't ever recommend one for overclocking or for a true gaming system. Only the office work type PC's and as I said the average user that doesn't really game all that much.

I'm surprised the caps didn't blow off while testing! I hated those boards when I was building systems on the cheap for people. Rma galore.
