If you look at what they've put out on the market, you'll realise that while they tend to be cheap, they are also *very* unconventional in design, mixing chipsets and memorytypes that were not specifically designed to match and such. It's ASUS hardware playground, where they experiment and toy around, and sell the stuff to make up for developmentcosts. A failed ASRock board doesn't give ASUS a bad name. :P
It doesnt mean all their boards are crap though. I know they've done some really nice boards with excellent value for money too.
