I have never heard of anything good, though nothing bad either coming from Foxconn. I'd recommend you go with a larger manufactorer

I've been doing fine with Chaintech... i tried a japaneese one first, i cant remember what company, but it sucked.

 

[The Merlin]

Chaintech are good, so are Abit, MSI and Gigabyte

Asus, Abit and MSI are the way to go.
