I have been using ASUS boards for about 10 years now.  Except for an USB 
engineering goof on the first rev series P2B-DS board, they have been 
flawless.  Recently, have installed two P5E WS pros and a P5K-E WiFi AP. 
  All running fine in a Thermaltake case and Antec 900 and 180 cases.

I got the P2B-DS board fixed by ASUS yearas ago while under warranty and 
it is still running today.  Also have a P2B-S still running, a P4P800 
and and two P4C800s still running.  The P4* boards are maxed out with 
drives and extra fans.  No probs.

I like the Thermaltake and Antec cases due to their large, quiet fans. 
I don't OC, tho.
