I mean horrible as in quality and service from the company. I really wanted something cheaper as well, as $100 is closing the price gap between this and a h55/i3 setup.
RMA/support quality is one of the last things on my list to care about when purchasing a motherboard. they're so cheap, and i hate to say it but they are rather disposable. still, i only buy asus/gigabyte and even then i've had some duds.
