Ok, this has been bothering me for months now. I was redoing the cables in my old system and pulled the floppy cable off the board slightly crooked, and the side of the connector broke. Not the end of the world, it still works. I passed it off as "the board is 2 years old, subject to heat. Maybe the plastic got brittle that way." A few months ago the same thing happened to me at work, this time I was putting a cable in, and it was a HDD cable. I had barely applied any pressure, and it snapped the side off the connector. I didn't think anything of it and hauled out the board, put it in the RMA pile, and grabbed another one. Last week, it happened again, on a floppy connector. I know that like everyone else, that after you get into a routine you sometimes get careless, and you make mistakes. My problem, is that this is only happening with ASUS boards. I've built well over 1500 systems, no problems with the MSI, or Aopen boards we sell, just the ASUS. Anyone have this happen to them or is it just me?
