To be clear, Asrock is not a first tier brand. I bought one once. Not likely 
I'd ever do it again on purpose. Brands I would buy again include Gigabyte, 
Foxconn, Asus, Biostar and MSI. Others I would not include PC Chips, ECS & 
Jetway. Intel I would also if I ever found one with all features I require 
(e.g. legacy stuff like at least one PS/2 port, and floppy & RS-232 support).
