Yes, do tell!

I've used Asus personally for well over 13 years..

And Asus motherboards and other parts have been used for longer--in retail pcs, custom pcs, and laptops..

As of 2007, it was estimated that 1 in every 3 PC's had a motherboard from Asus.

From wiki.

"When the Intel 486 was released as engineering samples, Asus decided to design its own 486 motherboard without having a 486 processor engineering sample on site, using only the technical details published by Intel and the experience they gained while making the 386 compatible motherboards. When Asus finalized its 486 motherboard prototype, they took it to Intel's base in Taiwan for testing. Unsurprisingly, there was not a formal greeting when they arrived. It turned out that Intel's own 486 motherboard prototype had encountered design flaws, and Intel's engineers were rectifying it. The Asus founders exercised their experience with the 486 and had a look at Intel's malfunctioning motherboard. Their solution worked, to the Intel engineers' surprise. Intel then tested the Asus prototype, which functioned perfectly. This marked the beginning of an informal relationship between the two companies – Asus now receives Intel engineering samples ahead of its competitors."

I build with nothing but Asus and have only had one issue out of about 10 boards. After about a year or so it wouldn't boot up anymore. They replaced it no problem.
