Life After Epox

Hello,

I am a computer tech who builds custom systems, and I have been an Epox
loyalist for years. But now I gather Epox has folded and I'm wondering
what motherboard manufacturers I should look at as "the next best
thing"?

Any recommendations? My clients are mostly average home Word-and-E-mail
users who don't care about gaming, overclocking, etc. My main concern
is relability and long life. One issue is that I have had complaints in
the past from users about "oily" smells from their PCs, which I thought
might be due to capacitor leakages over time.
