Seems they are selling a card bundled with a BFG mobo?

Interesting...I've never heard of it. They seem to have a good reputation in the video card arena though, so hopefully they'd be a competent motherboard manufacturer.

Hmm, that is wierd. I see nothing on bfg technologies website under their products that indicates they make motherboards. Interesting indeed. Maybe I need to look closer and I'm just missing it. . .

It'll be interesting to see if they are in fact about to design their own motherboards or are simply repackaging someone else's designs. Given the complexities of designing a quality motherboard versus slapping a new cooler on a reference videocard design it'll be interesting to see how BFG fares if it decides to design its own line of mobos.

My guess is they are just repackaging someone else's and selling a package.

If I had to guess, I'd say its made by ASUS. It matches the A8N-E spec's to the T, and according to Enquirer ASUS bought 2/3rds of the available NF4 chipsets. Just a guess

Check this thread out. It seems the layout and specs are VERY close, if not the same, as a Chaintech NF4 Ultra board. Aside from active cooling, everything looks the same if you compare a pic of each...

That would be pretty sweet though, especially if it has BFG's "lifetime warranty" on it. They have some good market cred with the gaming crowd, moreso than Abit's "Fatal1ty" line I think. If they bundled a decent board, and perhaps threw in some factory OC stuff, or gamer-oriented extras, they could have a real winner, IMHO.

It has a 3 year warranty.
