Default Gigabyte DVD drive and general poor quality

Anyone experience any sticky issues with their Gigabyte DVD drives? I left a
cd in the drive for a while and one day I had trouble removing it. I
pressed the eject button but it seemed like it was stuck. After several
tries, the tray popped open jerkily. Then I noticed there was a sticky
substance around the hole in the centre of the cd. So it seems the gasket or
washer in the drive was disintegrating and releasing this sticky substance.

Their mobos have loose sockets allowing dust to get in and messing up the
computer. They have to be cleaned out every so often, while other boards
like MSI don't have this problem.

I am getting increasingly disgusted with Gigabyte for their poor quality
products. This will be the last time I ever buy anything from Gigabyte.
