loggan26 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 You did try other floppy discs, not drives but discs, LOL it would be lame to RMA for the sake of a dodgy floppy disc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zstryder Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Of course I tried other floppies! Please, I'm not that bad! hahah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zstryder Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Also something I just noticed now that I'm taking the mobo out of the case... it looks like there's some "paint spillage" (the best way to describe it) slightly to the left of the two IDE connectors.. I dunno what the deal is with that.. seems kinda bizarre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Lol. Not white paint is it? A small streak... Its a Made In China motherboard, but all the motherboard PCB's they have say Made In Taiwan. So what they do is white out the Made In Taiwan and stick a Made In China sticker on the underside of the motherboard I wonder how much the guy who does that job gets paid. Must get pretty tedious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zstryder Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 haha, it is! Man, that's so ghetto. You think they could at least use a stamp or something and not make it look so damn ugly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 My very first Infinity was a Taiwan board. When i got my 2nd one i noticed the white paint straight away, plus it wasn't packaged quite as well. Some ppl say the China boards aren't of as good of a build quality but in reality they are exactly the same parts, just built in China not Taiwan thats all. I think a lot of it is psychological. Everyone knows they are on very low wages in China(hence why all these companies move production over there) and so probably assume the quality of workmanship will be lower too... If it bothers you that much you you can just clean the white paint off easy enough Ask playah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremywills Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 pics of this supposedly white paint? FWIW Tawain is basically an extension of China, so I see it as made in China, its sad that alot of the stuff is made in such bad conditions, not just computers, but everything in general. anyhow, my board has a sticker that says china, but I didnt see any white paint running anywhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Its only a tiny streak to cover over the Made In Taiwan printed on the board. Its somewhere up near the Ram slots... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zstryder Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Mine isn't a streak near the DIMM slots though.. it's just to the left of the IDE connectors. If this is the edge of the board, and it's a rather large splotch, not just a streak... ______________________________________RAM3________| ______________________________________RAM2________| *splotch* |___IDE1___| |___IDE2___| _____RAM1________ | __________________________________________________| yay for ascii art.

This much I can guarantee you. There's a reason so many of the big mobo makes are of Taiwanese origin. I don't want to drag politics into here, but let's say Taiwan isn't a part of China.

Shinobi Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Yeah it probably is then zstryder. I'd forgotten where abouts exactly it was and just thought i remembered it being near the Dimm slots. Must be thinking of something else, the NFII Ultra(or LanParty B) written on the board maybe? So your Taiwanese eh? Get us any cheap stuff You should fill your location in so ppl know where you are from. Taiwan is completely independent from China Jeremy, has been since around what, 1950? And was only occupied by them for about 4years or so As zstryder says, in reality it has very little to do with China... Its a bit like saying the US is just a part of the UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
