Try a Google search and you will bring up a few things. I did that and the best I could do in a quick check was this page which has some BIOS releases and a download link for a manual. It appears to be made by a company called QDI but not much else to go on. I must say that this is one of the most "off the wall" sounding MB makers I have run across in quite some time. I'm not saying they are not a good company; just very obscure. Hey, they have some sort of VIA chipset in them. ;) Can't be all bad.
I think I'd pass on it if I were you though. Just my 2 cents worth. Good Luck!

I replaced a motherboard for a friend with the Biostar for $29, the one right above yours in Computer Geeks. I put a Celeron 800 on it and set it to a 112MHz fsb for 896MHz without any issues.

the reason i wanted the qdi board is because i already have a sound card, ethernet card, blah, and don't really need any of the on-board stuff the other boards offer
