I think the design is fine, BUT it should be more specific. People should 
report what they know to work. We should probably get rid of the 
"functional" and "fully functional"... OR define what "fully functional" 
means.

To me fully functional would imply that all functions of the motherboard 
were tested:
-ATA drives
-SATA drives
-Status of RAID if the machine has one.
-LAN card
-Sound

For SMP boards it should be reported with at least 2 CPUs.
Users should also report how much memory they tested with.
