I've been trying to pick out a mobo and after researching on newegg, it seems most every brand has its fair share of DOA reviews.
This is the one I'm leaning towards.Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard - Retail
This will be my first build and I'd hate to have defective parts ruin and frustrate the experience.
You actually have a pretty small chance of getting a bad board or other component. I have been building systems for a few years and so far I have been lucky, I have only gotten one bad hard drive and I got a defective USB joystick once. I agree, Ignore the vendor reviews. Some people base their entire build on just those reviews, or form an opinion based on the few bad reviews, but fail to realize that thousands of the part in question has been sold and used with no issues.
As we all know, people usually don't post about a product until something goes wrong. You rarely hear about the good things.
