hmm.. most electronics now are made in china. Even the current DFI ones are made in china/taiwan. Not surprised if the copy is from there too. Probably their engineering design slipped out and some "enterprising" entrepreneur too the opportunity to make some money.

Lucky i found this thread, then i m just know they use the J&W mobo imitation as DFI mobo??? They just change the brand name at the heatsink. I have bought 1 JW-IN7100-HDMI from lowyat forum, u will feel that u have been fool by seller after u saw ur mobo is not all is using solid caps compare with the J&W OFFICIAL WEBSITE, only 8 is solid caps near the socket of processor, thats why so cheap that around rm200, but this mobo is suck at OC, but this is quite stable without oc it. Just me also suspect the solid caps maybe is also fake one after i saw this thread. My mobo is 100% same mobo as below picture, is not all solid caps.  Maybe this mobo also not original from J&W.
