Amazing that they can sell those MB's for so cheap. (relatively speaking)
Considering how much they do and how many parts they have, especially compared to something like a power supply that can cost just as much.

i like how they have qc everywhere. that's a good thing.

2 weeks ago I bought an Epox on the recommendations of many people and reviews. After reading about how many times they QC the board as it is manufactured I've even happier with my decision!

Yeah, Epox makes quality boards...no doubt about it.

What I found interesting was how well equipped the facilities were (everything down to anti-glare monitor covers and clean work stations). I know a lot of people imagine "sweat-shop" like environments, but Epox actually looks like an interesting place to work. Of course I could be making assumptions based on just those few snaps shots. There also doesn't seem to be any kind of sex discrimination going on either unless they pay women less than their male counterparts. Nice peek into the workings of a good company...

Where i used to work they'd bring in tours too .. we always had to be on our best behaviour and all that .. interested how the QC person just happened to be there for all the photo ops
I'm a skeptic, I know.
I did imagine more sweat shop like conditions though .. but I'm sure these people have to work very, very hard soldering those parts and stuff man .. you guys see how many boxes there were? You'd think that for the amount of epox boards around, that there'd be like thousands fo workers, I was expecting more people. Imagine how many boards one of those production people see a day?!? :Q
Anyways, cool stuff .. I wish there were more pictures and I wish the whole thing was more detailed.
