Kontron has been around for years. However Zotac would be preferable since they seem to have crossed over into the consumer market.

Not saying they haven't been, but relative to other vendors in the top tier consumer board market they are unknown.
 
 They are not an ideal vendor to source a motherboard from when building a consumer system for a highly cost-conscious market.

Once again, you might want to read what I wrote a fourth and fifth time.

Out of curiosity, spirantho looked up prices for Kontron mainboards in his home country and shared his findings regarding the cheapest offer he could find. I found an offer for a Kontron mainboard in his country that was 80 USD cheaper and specifically mentioned that prices in the UK tend to be higher and that I have seen lower prices elsewhere.

In what strange universe does this constitute a "recommendation" for any specific mainboard?



For the second time, Kontron were mentioned because of the unusual 7 years long product life cycle which was in response to claims that x86 mainboards have extremely short product lifes.

If you need me to repeat it a third time, please let me know and I will gladly do so.

 Are you a politician by chance?

yeah, but what incentive would a MOS user have to pay 3000$ for X5000 when G5 Macs are available for more than 10 times less? Doesn't compute...



Some people would just prefer to have new hardware and some of the supplementary features that come along with it vs. old G5 hardware.

That being said, at that price differential it wouldn't make a lot of sense.
