Name a company or product whos name doesnt seem to fit.

Start with a bunch of substandard components, have them assembled by people making .10 cents a day and then have your product given away at FRYS with purchase. Sound like a winner? Sure! Its called ECS Elitegroup! How the heck to wind up calling yourself "elite" building crap? Elite to what? FOXCONN?! At least Foxconn admits its a con up front. :laugh:

I dont mean to insult your board if you use one, but most people agree those boards are given away (or thrown away) for a reason. They are not overclockable, tend to be unstable under load and give up the ghost not long after installation.

Can you think of any?

I agree. The ironic thing is enough of those smallish Big Macs and she doesnt become fun size, she becomes ton size.

AMD is the only reason i7 is currently available, so the name fits.

OP - Foxconn has been improving of late, try looking at the Quantum Force series.

To outsides, 'Water Ice' probably doesn't sound like it fits.

I think ECS makes a lot of the boards for OEMs like Dell and Fry's no longer uses them, at least not in my store.

Foxconn makes a great utilitarian board. They're perfect in office type machines where BIOS options, and overclocking aren't a concern.

Where is our jerkoff smiley when you need one?


AMD is lucky if they make it through the year.

That name is truly ironic. I guess they figure reverse pyschology moves products.

security company called intercon... I guess their competition is interpol?

Big Mac - a smallish sandwich

When introduced in the 50's or whenever it was the largest hamburger anybody had ever seen. Before then folks ate White castle size burgers - and full-grown men ate several of them at meals.
