Motherboard

If its just a motherboard, they would probably get it unless it has major quality or compatibility issues.

They don't do 100% custom builds anymore outside of the parts they use and have a strict limit on the number of parts they would custom order. So you can still have them order specific parts that you want if they do not offer it on their configurator, but it is very limited in regards to how many parts you can have them special order.

I would imagine exotic builds were becoming a nightmare for both the techs building the systems & the phone support techs. Besides having to research to see if a requested system is viable with a submitted parts list, they also have to deal with providing tech support for a wider range of software/driver configurations/conflicts, etc. It becomes a real ball ache for both the techs & the user calling in for support; especially if the user isn't tech savvy.
The fewer different hardware/software combinations you have to deal with, the easier & more time efficient things are when it comes to building, testing, and troubleshooting.
