I'm currently contemplating the purchase of an ASUS 2560x1440 display. In my research I've learned that ASUS' (and a lot of display companies) have a fairly poor policy when it comes to dead pixels.  While I would consider a display defective if it had a single dead pixel, you need six or more total for them to consider an RMA on that basis. ...

Hello I am very close to purchasing the Asus Sabertooth 990 FX R2 Motherboard and have noticed from reading a downloaded version of the manual it does not mention the dust shield or covers.

This is going to sound like a rant, maybe it is, but I need a second/third opinion. I just attempted to build a PC system and the motherboard I received has a dead ethernet port. Everything else with the board appears to be fine (booted, posted, stays on, fans spin, I even successfully installed an OS), but as this particular board (ASUS P8H77-I ...
