Someone mentioned asus mobos further up.
If you want to buy an asus mobo in Western Australia u might as well just order one from the eastern states.
The main distributor here had a huge blue with asus, when they recieved a huge shipment of motherboards with problems. The downside being, these werent minor faults, these boards had CNR sockets soldered onto the board instead of an AGP socket, and all PCI slots down the line of a motherboard that was supposed to have 2 ISA slots (and even had the solder marks and traces for the ISA slots.
The downside being, if someone accidentally got the board and tried to use it, ASUS would refuse to rma the board because their excuse was that it was the customers fault. Yes they must have unsoldered the sockets and put their OWN ones on!
So beware of asus too, but then we get screwed over here, as i think the only options i currently have for boards are abit, aopen or MSI, and that choice is pretty shite at the best of times
