I have three Asus barebones servers in my server room. I had the
motherboard go bad on one. It took about a month to get it back up
and running, partly because Asus doesn't cross ship, and the first
replacement board they sent me was completely wrong.
I had problems such as this with an Asus A7V333 on a non server
board as well as other Asus boards & shall never buy another unless
I get a great deal like I got from Chris. 6 months or so ago that
I'm running 2k3 Sp2 x64 on. Thanks Chris.
Have you found an whitebox motherboard manufacturer that will cross
ship in a reasonable period of time? I've really gotten to like
Asus, and I really liked AOpen before them, but neither of them cross
ship, so I end up stocking a loaner motherboard for critical systems.
