Small sample size. I've built two mini itx systems with Zotac Mother boards.

Both worked fine. And continue to work fine.

For information on a particular motherboard, be sure to check the Zotac Forums. (They used to be open. Now, it looks like you may need to register to view them.)

Zotac is a much overlooked brand. I don't think they advertise heavily and offer mostly no frills solutions. Their graphics cards always have worked well though they don't offer special overclocked versions and fancy fan setups

Their bios is junk. At least it is on the H67. Their 3/1/2012 bios seems to be missing options, others just don't work. Getting updates from them is very slow as well. Otherwise the boards are fine. Of the hundreds of the H67 boards I've used I've only had one DOA and another with dead Ethernet. Killed 8 more doing bios flash but that was due to stability issues caused by other components.

What about the AMD based boards???

I can't really comment on their AMD solutions though I don't see a reason to get one at this point anyway.
