I would not buy ecs for cheap motherboards i would try an asrock its a division of asus. My pc has an asus motherboard and its great i had a jetway which was very good a while ago. my msi was good to start with but something went wrong with it ,  Msi are crap. :-)

Ive have burnt ide cables to the stage they melted and burnt most the plastic off of them.Done two ide interfaces in  the cables must have been damaged and shorted together. My a1200 tower still works perfect as well although i did have to resolder the one ide interface as copper link bourned as well but even that is still working ok. :-)
