ECS X58 Motherboard Marketing Effort….. F-

Posted by: Linus on 20th November 2008

The messaging on ECS’s web site *should* make you think of high performance computing, overclocking, reliability, etc.

After seeing this banner though, the first things that came to my mind were ebony pornography and racist hate-speech!

It gets better though. Here you can view the “Black Adventure” flash video. Guaranteed to make you laugh.

Maybe a couple of review sample boards to key websites would have been a better investment, hm?

At least it didn’t say “take an adventure in black”

I feel SO sorry for those who will bite and buy that mainboard.
ECS might make stupid videos and incredible bad ads but their products are EVEN MORE stupid and bad. By far the worst board i ever had, no other brand is close to the retardedness of ECS. Oh all the bios bugs and lack of updates, i mean SERIOUS Bios bugs and they didnt even try to iron them out, obviously they use the OTD warranty system; once its OutTheDoor they forget about it.
