I have a number of servers that are reaching end of life.  They are  
over 7 years old and I can no longer find IDE drives that work with  
the slower controllers they have.  These are all towers and use ASUS  
motherboards.  Those were quite cheap at the time and the boards have  
worked very well over the years.  However, I am now hearing rumers  
that ASUS motherboards are no longer the best quality and probably  
should be avoided.  Don't need much on the machines, but do have to  
have 2 NICs and a SCSI controller on each.  What are good, rock  
solid, motherboards with FreeBSD 6.0?
