nothing fancy, just something stable, and very cheap. HAS to be less than $50. Gonna be used for a 100Mhz Celeron. (Don't really mind refurb as long as it's ok, so I am gonna keep an eye out at Newegg, but I'd like a few suggestions on what brand/model) I am an AMD guy, so I have no clue about Intel boards.

AGP, a few PCI. No need for LAN or sound, but don't mind them.

Gonna be used for server/Linux box/2nd gaming/backup, nothing top of the line.

I don't actually mind an mATX board, since then I'll be able to get a small case, etc.

Thanks!

Bump cause I've been there-done this. :)

EDIT: Speaking of been there done that, I got a tip on a board when I was in the search mode a short while back. Unfortunately it was out of stock. HOWEVER, it is now IN STOCK. How about a board for $28? Might be what you are looking for. Good Luck! And remember, I can't take credit for this. It was one of our fellow AT'ers that pointed me to it. Just passing it along.

I've had good luck withe the cheapy boards at compgeeks.com not a single DOA so far and only 1 out of 5 i've bought has died (but it was actualy the fault of a poor PSU)
