    ECS is PCChips, Amptron, Mercury, Kobian, (etc.) and many low-end Micro ATX boards.

    They've probably taken someone over that I don't know about, too.
    You know there's something wrong when you open up a PSU and are glad to find Teapos.
    Why I don't buy cheap cases!

      ECS also integrates systems for Fry's Electronics, using the "Great Quality" name.

          So ECS is pretty much low end quality compaired to the other motherboard manufacturers?

            ECS makes a cheap product, but they sell it for a cheap price. I've used several ECS boards in some "on-the-cheap" builds, and have almost always been happy with them. One suggestion is to replace the caps early on to prevent headaches down the road.

              I'm using an ECS board right now. I only paid 16.99 USD including shipping from Newegg!

                old socket a ecs board was my fave, whenever i built system for friends with very low budget, they will be happy with that ecs i reccomended. i love chipset sis740 and 735. i never reccomend ecs+via chipset though.

                like dood said, it is adivised to check the mobo for failing caps after 1-2 year. once it is recapped it will back to its best performance. what best is recapping it early and need not to worry later/forever..

                i still think g-luxon and ost caps they used are craps. not if, it's a fact. ecs is also known for making false advertising with their onboard amd proc. well i dont know about the current ecs board (a64/intel chipset) coz no way i will buy ecs board again. (i think it's more a personal problem between me and ecs company )

                days are so short when you actually do something..

                  The fact is that G-Luxon and OST is still much better than complete crap like Chhsi or GSC which are often present on expensive boards. So with ECS, you get what you paid for which is not true for some other manufacturers.

                    I'd say they build to their customers BOM, they make boards for all different manufacturers as their OEM, Look at the Abit VA20... it's an ECS KM400 board, the bios is even interchangeable.

                    They also own a portion of AMP, so if you see connectors on a "high end" mainboard, they are using a product owned by ECS...
