a quick morning Q:

[LOLyourFace]

recommend me a cheap good-old-timer motherboard for my brother's PC. I'm looking to spend $30-50, preferably $30~

my bro's PC just needs something that'd support XP1600+ (palomino i believe) and DDR ram. What are some excellent mobo's 1-2 years ago?

 

[Mutilator]

ECS K75SA?
Newegg has several in the $40-$50 range I believe.

Oh and uh... wrong forum!

 

[LOLyourFace]

newegg has it for $47 + ship

anything cheaper

Try pricewatch.

You'd be hard pressed to find a $30 mobo other than like a Socket7 or something. One way around that is the regular Fry's special that includes a CPU.

Soltek SL75 DRV4 (or DRV5).
MSI K7T Turbo2

Newegg has a refurb Asus A7V8X for $44 shipped.

Go any cheaper you'll have a piece of crap.

Remember you get what you pay for.

try posting this on the for sale/trade forum as a wtb.
i'm sure someone has one they would get rid of pretty cheap there

 

[Fausto]

ABIT KG7 for cheap. ($35)

This pretty much fits the bill IMO.

For Sale/Trade for a deal

Motherboards forum might actually get you better answers, since this is a Motherboard question



look up biostar on pricewatch, some cheap pieces of crap there but none for 30

Some of the Yahoo Shopping sites are seriously shady, but this one is fine in my experience. I've purchased a few things from them as well.

Newegg refurb if you got the luck and skill. I've gotten some great 24.99 mobos with free shipping.

Refurb is your only way.
