Default Fake DFI Motherboards In Circulation

DFI has discovered that another company has been rebranding motherboards in an attempt to make use of DFI's good name. Two models have been discovered so far; MCP73V and MCP68V. They are not made by DFI and will not be covered by any kind of warranty or support, and we can only recommend you to stay away from these boards. They first surfaced in Indonesia and we can only hope they haven't spread. Amusingly, the motherboards look nothing like regular DFI motherboards, but MCP68V actually looks like a Gigabyte board, while MC73V looks like a NVIDIA reference board.

Who on earth is able to develop such complex boards without spending too much money (retail market only right)?
