I 2nd the motion on Biostar. I bought 1 last ~March, NewEgg, built a 2.4 
GHz P4 Linux box, had various seemingly random stability problems. Tried 
Memtest on the RAM, which eventually showed RAM OK, Mbd fried w/ more 
than 1 stick of (brand-new, DDR400 Geil) RAM onboard. NewEgg swapped it 
out for a FoxConn & no problems (w/ Mbd/CPU/RAM) since. I haven't seen 
many Biostars on NewEgg anymore, I thought they might have dropped them 
over warranty problems ....
