Good place to look for deals on dual opty boards?

[mooseracing]

I've been looking and looking, but i seem to be having a hard time finding a decent deal on a workstation class server board.

I want to stay under 200 bucks, socket 940 or F if i find a deal. But what I really need is one with a graphics slot. AGP or PCI E.

Or is there any good boards recommened or ones to stay away from?

also is supermicro crap for as cheap as I have seen their prices?


edit: here are a couple I'm looking at just for reference:
Asus K8N-DL nForce Pro Dual Socket 940 Server Board

S2877ANRF-RS TYAN Dual 940 NVIDIA nForce4 Professional

TYAN S2895UA2NRF Dual 940 NVIDIA nForce Professional

Dear Moose,

Newegg has a lot of server boards that fit your criteria:

Staying under $200 for a dual CPU capable motherboard is going to be difficult: I would also like a new Porsche for a Chevy price, but, that is unlikely....

If you do not already have socket 940 CPUs, have you considered Intel 5000X chipset boards? Dual socket 771:

Also not cheap, though.

Supermicro: definitely not junk. If you can get a good deal on one because of the shift to Intel processors (Intel is pretty much kicking AMD while they are down right now), then I would say go for it. Try downloading the manual for the mobo you were looking at from Supermicro to check their on line support (pretty good IME),

Asus K8N DL manaul:

For me, Tyan = Supermicro = upper end Intel (some recent mid market boards seem to be having quality issues) > Asus....

HTH
