    I remember when I first started getting into computer hardware years ago, I was very amused by the weird names of the Taiwanese motherboard and video card manufacturers. Since then, things have gotten a little less silly and Taiwanese companies have slick websites and all-around presentation to make them look more American and accesible to the average motherboard buying end-user. Even PC-Chips has a very professional looking website which they didn't have years ago.

    Still, the funny names have stuck. And a new one has even been born, AssROCK! Which is the weirdest in your opinion? Any ones I'm forgetting?

    Here's one that's not around anymore, but we used to do a lot of system builds with.

    FYI (Full Yes International - Say Yes to Full Yes).
    Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore.

  5. I agree AOpen sounds funny

    IWill though sounds like you're signing your own death warrant.
    A name like that can only mean trouble is ahead :P
