Am I crazy?
On another forum a guy asked what the best 939 motherboard is because he was building a new computer. Everyone said to buy a DFI. They said that they are better than Abit AND Asus. Um if it was me DFI would be my last choice I have never seen so many bad motherboards in my life...

DFI is actually based out of Boise (or Twin Falls), Idaho. I've had a brief conversation with a person who works for them, and have seen some of the machines they power. DFI provided me with results for a small multi-CPU benchmark database I manage essentially on the day Athlon64 X2 processors were avaliable, and they had pushed the processor to its limits.
Also, pretty much everybody buys their capacitors from overseas. I doubt you could find many computer companies who still build (actually they mainly just assemble them now - manpower) components in the USA, especially for motherboards or graphics cards - it costs too much.
I only remember Micron as a company who still makes DRAM in the USA, and coincidently both DFI and Micron are based in Idaho. DFI is pretty easy to talk to so if you need a replacment they'll probably do it.
If you have any problems with DFI, hit them up at http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=26
I don't work for DFI or Micron, but I've seen influences from both companies since I live in Idaho. Micron funds part of our EE program at my university, and I've talked to the guy who works for DFI via e-mail through a forum where I run and collect data for my multi-CPU architecture performance database.
