I saw the plastic casing of a NB on an old TX board explode. Chunk'o'chip everywhere. Another interesting story that I heard once was about a tech from one of my former workplaces repairing a monitor. Apparently a capacitor discharged and shot of the board, it flew past his head and imbedded in the brick wall behind him.

ECS are great value for money motherboards, they are generally good overclockers as well, but not the best, Abit has taken that title. As for manufacturing quality, Asus are the best with DFI coming second. For some reason, people can't get enough of MSI in the states and Toms Hardware rate them as being excellent manufaturers, from what I've seen, they are a load of crap, but thats just my opinion, who am I to question Toms Hardware :-?
