What mobo for i3-550-based HTPC? What about micro-atx?

[bovinda]

Trying to pick out a mobo for a new HTPC build, that will probably be micro-atx, but maybe atx if I can find a nice case.

I'm so out of the loop with mobos - what's recommended for use with an i3-550? Probably no OCing as this has to be a very stable, on-24/7 build.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

I've been using an Intel DH55TC with good success.

If no overclocking, then ANY board will work as long as it has the features you need. Are you using a receiver with digital input? Then make sure the motherboard has the SPDIF digital output that matches, be it optical or coaxial. Using HDMI? Make sure the board you get has an HDMI output.

All right, thanks guys - I'll probably just pick something from a brand I've used in the past that hasn't fudged up on me, like Gigabyte or Asus. Thanks!
