Interesting. I've never had one DOA and never had one last less than 7 years. Their failure rate is among the lowest in the industry, and usually is the lowest. Spouting off with 40% is ridiculous when a good portion of their boards are under 3%. If you were talking ASRock, I'd be more inclined to believe you. When I checked rates a year ago or so, they were over 10% while ASUS was under 2%. Appears they must have had some problems as they have always been solid.

Edit: Any board between MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, and ASRock should be pretty good (with all routinely having sub 3% failure rates), unless you're building a server then you might want to look at Intel or SuperMicro...
