@Amiwell79 - it's a good board I don't know how to assemble a computer then the cost in general for accessories we go way beyond other realities even if they have something that is not supported
I forgot to mention, that that mobo hasn't its own GPU. It has only an VGA connector, and the GPU is built into the Intel CPU. It's an Intel Core i3 3220 with HD Graphics 2500. Aros booted up to the best, native display mode of my 21" NEC monitor.
Probably your Mechanical Disk has problems on windows test it with the "CrystalDiskIn" software
I have been using mechanical disks for 35 years and they never got corrupted, you just have to be careful when the Computer shuts down abruptly, on Windows in this case you have to do a ScanDisk immediately, if you do this you will never get corruptions on FA32 formatted Disks but also NTFS.
If the problem is instead on AROS and therefore on SFS then almost certainly your mechanical HD is defective, or some Guru has corrupted something, I never had corruptions with AROS !

I got the joypad of this series because the joystick worked well the only thing about this joypad when you start the game you have to configure it with the joystick this did not happen the game detected it immediately
VESA Only modes of video this may be updated as I test more like networking and sound etc further on. But I would bbet top dollar it is practically a full spec system with this board as it operates with the same OS written to a hard drive on other devices
Fully Booting Tested Playing A Demoscene With Sound No Other Testung So Far Done
These systems operate in up to a stage of testing with soumd and video via a hard drive that has been created using the Intel D945GSEJT (Johnstown) motherboard spec:
The Hard Drive has then been transplanted into different machines listed below the machines I have tried this way have been found to boot with sound and demoscene playback:
Minix HD Mini D250
CPU – Intel dual-core (4 threads) D2550 processor @ 1.86GHz
Chipset – Intel NM10
GPU – Intel GMA 3600 Series
System Memory – 2x 1.5V DDR3 @ 800/1066MHz SO-DIMM sockets
Audio – Onboard 6-channel HD Audio Codec (Realtek ALC661), 5.1 channel high definition audio
Operates in VESA screen mode only over the HDMI port using native graphics screen mode will cause off screen resizing of the desktop and the video becomes a multi coulered garbled mess VESA works as normal to an extent I have only tested the demoscene pkayback and the audio which both function.
MSI - 7677_VER: 1.2 motherboard
With a matched pair of 8gb Kingston KVR ram sticks
Pluggen into HDMI port and ran the OS from the menu in 1280x1024 VESA True Colour node
workung demoscene tested with audio
GIGABYTE GA-M61PME-S2 (motherboard)
AMD Athlon X250 cpu
2gb of 1gb sticks matched pair crucial ddr2
Also VESA likely VGA mode works with audio in demoscenes
Boots to menu to select video chosing 1024x768 results in permenent black screen as if booting but remains stuck without a video ouput. All other video option choice give the mesaage "NO SIGNAL" on screen.
WIFI Cards Not Working
PCI AMATEL WN5301A-H1-V02
USB
RT636
No further testing on any machine has been done and these may appear to fully work but not in some software this I leave for you to test further but you can try the working systems and get boot so that you can at least tinker and share your findings.
These probably will not come with everything
working as they do not install natively using a disc but they can be used at least to play with a drive from a working machine.
I did find browsers failed to launch on one board the MSI with the i7 in it, the ftp client seemed to launch and many other apllications launched fine others did not and caused system errors both owb and the amifire is it? do not work when transplanting a drive it's missing some links to hardware that gets accessed so as I say some things will work others not for each system likely.

These are all good computers and AROS of course runs on many more hardware than just recommended hardware list. The reason that the computers you listed did not make it to the recommended hardware list is that they don't meet all the criteria (read post #1 in this thread for criteria)
1) Acer 5630 doesn't have working LAN and it can't be replaced. It also has poor availablity last time I checked.
2) Smsung NC10 does not have working LAN
3) HP Z400/Z440 have really good availability, but they are ambigouse - this is not a single computer but family. So the user might buy it and they end up with unsupported video card (radeon or never nvidia) and the need to buy LAN card - so two elements need to be replaced whereas recommended hardware needs at most replacement of one component. Actually if we find a way to identify models that have supported nvidia cards, then the ambiguity would be removed and this would be a candidate for recommended hardware.
in the HP Z400 and Z600 you can disable the cpu cores for aros you need one, the Z600 can accommodate two separate cpus, you can find systems with nvidia cuda nvs 290 graphics card perfectly compatible with aros but to be able to play all games you need 512 MB of ram minimum so you can think about upgrading with a compatible card I currently have an econoica 8400 GS, the lan is not supported you have to get a separate card
