Over the last few days I've built/upgraded my 3 Pcs with AOpen AX-59Pro
MBs which I bought from Tech Direct.  Only I have a problem with one
machine which fails to boot.

I have removed all IDE cables from the MB, swapped the memory and
processor over; reset the bios; removed/replugged in the graphics card
and the PC will not boot from a floppy. I either get the message not
enough memory, or it just hangs, or sometimes I get funny characters.

I've concluded that the MB is faulty, what a bummer - question is do you
agree with my verdict?  Any comments on AOpen?  Any comments on Tech
Direct - are they good for returns?  Thanks guys.
