Need a cheap 754 motherboard that overclocks... suggestions?

thanks guys, i have the lanparty, but i just sold it in my combo. i love it, but was wondering if there was anything else out there that may be cheaper and just as good. but i may have found someone that wants to trade for my ram so im good i think.
 
ECS NF4 PCIe board appears to be the best overclocker (for now) and is stable. It won't OC as high as a typical high end S939 NF4 but will get you around 250 FSB.

Eh, the last time I looked for socket 754 mobos with PCI-E from Asus, Abit, DFI or MSI, there was only like one per company man! Anyway, I chose the Asus K8N4-E Deluxe. It may not be dirt cheap, but, ah, wait, I think the DFI one overclocks better. Oh well, the Asus one has firewire and a MIDI/game port.
