i wouldn't trust jaton with anything. i've worked at several retail shops that have used jaton products as thier "this is crap, but were going to sell it like it's made of gold" line of hardware. Only for it to be returned two or three days later.

I have owned one Jaton product some years back. Nothing wrong with the hardware. They are just another cheap, south east asian manufacturer of 'reference boards'. You get a board, made to the reference design, with a paper sleave with reference drivers, and you don't pay much.

So if you see a cheap deal with EXACTLY the hardware you need, consider it. If you need 'piece of mind' with a well respected manufactuer like ASUS (of which I have two brocken (but never abused) boards, a video card and motherboard), then pay some more and get a hopefully better quality component.
