Anyone know of something like this:

http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/184/

Except focused on motherboard manufacturers? I'd like to be able to do a
more quantitative comparison between the motherboard manufacturer companies.
I think it would help a lot if I could see how many people left positive and
negative feedback about the various companies, like they did in the link
above. (though that one is obviously gardening related)

Thanks!

It's called Newegg.com and has comments for every motherboard sold.

Also, many of the manufacturers host their own web sites of one
sort and another.

No, that's not what I'm talking about at all. I realize that some
retailers allow folks to leave feedback about certain items that are sold.

However, retailers would not likely allow loads of negative feedback on
the site, since it could impact their ability to sell the merchandise. It
is a conflict of interest, and therefore I would disqualify any retailer
from consideration.

What I'm looking for is an independent website that keeps long term
feedback results for each manufacturer as a whole. Not for any specific
item they make. This would allow a person to see, for example, the quality
of a company's support and customer service, compared to the others.

Actually, I have it sort by the rating the reviewer gave the product,
with the worst ratings first. There are some very negative comments
about some manufacturers quality / support. They usually praise the
retailer for taking the product back but ISTR some that really blasted
the motherboard design, said the board didn't support something it was
supposed to, or said the manufacturer support was totally worthless /
nonexistent. You'll also see comments telling you things like the
latest BIOS is useless and to flash to an earlier version or that the
program the manufacturer supplies that claims to flash the BIOS under
windows will trash the BIOS and make the board unusable or telling you
what brands of memory will or won't work with the board. Those reviews
can be a gold mine of information.
