For the most part, the 2 PC Chips boards I've encountered have worked fine if you didn't expect too much out of them. They really are just budget/value OEM boards. If you're going to set up a lower end system once and never touch it again, they're probably fine for most things. If you're going to tinker, OC, whatever, then they're probably not a good choice. I still have one of their Tualatin P3 boards running in a seldom used fileserver. I had the thing running 24/7 for like 6 months and had no problems. One day, I thought to try and set up the thing as a lowend/poor man's movie server so I tried to install a PCI video card that had a TV out (integrated VIA graphics, no AGP slot on the board). The board went crazy. Tried 3 different PCI cards (GF2 mx200, GF4 mx, FX5200) and no go. Tried changing BIOS settings, latest drivers, fresh XP install, emailing their tech "support" (HA!). Found PC Chips forums where people suggested different fixes and tried them all. A few hours of wasted effort later, I just gave up and left the system running on it's integrated video and have continued to have no problems with it since. Like many people, I think the PC Chips boards just dislike change.
