Searching for a Mobo

I have an AMD 3500+ just sitting here and I thought I would make my dad a PC for his office at work. I already have the case, PSU and natually the proc. I just need to find a nice cheap 939 mobo that has onboard video. It doesn't have to be anything special. I just don't want to have to buy a graphics card. Thanks for the help!
 
I've used the Biostar TForce 6100-939 for a couple of builds and it's worked very well. It also has a 5-star rating after several hundred votes at Newegg.com

Thanks these look great guys.

Would a ATX Micro board work in a Mid AXT case?

Yep! just pay attention to which brass standoffs are screwed into the back/bottom of the case and un-screw any that don't match up to the holes on the mATX motherboard. Most are the same so you only need to move/remove one or two.
 
I know this is off topic but I am stil trying to figure out the right amout of ram to use.. since this is a budget system. Do you think just 512 would be ok?
 
Should be ok for most office apps and web surfing using XP unless you are talking large spread sheets or the like. then I would go for 1 Gb

If there is a Staples near you and you're not sure you want the work of building a PC, you could sell you CPU in FS/FT and buy the $299 (after "easy" rebates) Compaq in today's Sunday paper. It's a Sempron 3400+ with 512MB RAM which should be fine for Office apps and the web.
