DFI Lanparty seires (not the cheap ones). The ones I've used have had all good, solid Chemi-Con PSC caps and good MOSFET and Chipset cooling, although they can be a bit expensive. Gigabyte is my second preference, followed by Intel, followed by MSI. I would only use ASUS if I couldn't get any of those other brands. I've seen way too many die way too young to really trust them.

I wanted to vote Abit even though it is out of business now. :lol: I'm using an old Abit KN8 motherboard, which has exclusively Japanese brand capacitors. It has been serving me for 5 and a half years till now and I haven't had any problem with it (except the NF4 standard single chipset is way too hot).
