$75 US dollars? I'm just a little thrown by that. It's an amount that might be important to me at least once over a 30-day period. That is -- for unforeseen needs. But surveying the American market for boxed-new retail motherboards, used single-owner units, and units refurbished by a company poised between corporate IT asset-management clients and the general consumer market for used parts -- $75 is about as good as it gets.

If you were in the US, or if shipping were reasonable between Cleveland and New Delhi, and for anyone else looking for end-of-lifecycle hardware, I recommend these folks:

https://www.ascendtech.com/ aimed at the first client group, and:

http://www.ascendtech.us/ for the masses.

They have the facility to do soldered-chip replacements on damaged motherboards. Most recently, I was willing to pay about $50 more for a CPU chip sourced by Ascendtech than I found on EBay with the initial descriptor "Refurbished." Ascendtech explained to me how a CPU could be "refurbished" in such a way that I could be more confident of the other seller's offering, suggesting that their own item was essentially a new "tray" processor or used as a demonstrator or test configuration, or a "pull" from surplus new OEM computers. So I threw my business to Ascendtech once again, just for that.

I get a kick out of some of these posts.

Come to forum that is primarily made up of U.S. members, looking for a recommendation on a motherboard that has been out of production for quite some time. When a recommendation is given, then proceeds to say it is too expensive in India.

How are we supposed to know what used, out of production boards are selling for India?

Isn't there some easy way for people in India to easily buy used computer parts? Seriously, with a country that large there has to be something. Just about any z77 motherboard you can get over there should work.
