Motherboard for $50 that can OC Good

[penceman]

I'm building my first system and I need some recommendations for a motherboard. I'm going to use an AMD Duron 1.8Ghz, which I will overclock. So I need a good board for around $50. I'd like to go with an NForce2 board. Thanks for any help or recommendations.
I was going to get the MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum refurb. from Newegg, but it went out of stock.

Not the Platinum Edition which is one of the best Socket A motherboards ever made, in my opinion.

Well I need SATA on the board because I already have a SATA Seagate 160GB HDD, which I retrieved from my old Dell. I'm thinking about spending the extra $30-$40 on a Sempron 2600+ Socket 754. And buying a refurb. MSI K8N Platinum Edition.
