Where to find a 1156 Motherboard?

[davis_lsu]

Hello all. I recently received an i7-870 and I'm looking for an 1156 motherboard. Anyone have any ideas on where to find a decent one?

Craigslist, eBay, For sale/trade ?

Yeah, I've been looking there. You just never really know what you are getting. I guess I was really looking to see if someone here maybe had one for sale.

Thanks for the link.

I saw those, but I have never heard of Foxconn and was unsure of the quality. Anyone know anything about them?

I'm not looking to spend $150 for a motherboard, so the other is out for sure.

Foxconn pretty much makes everything...from iphones to gaming systems. They are the CDM that makes a ton of electronics for many companies

I'm in the same boat. Looking for an 1156 but don't want to shell out a lot of dough. My bro in law spilled beer in his pc and now he's got an i-5 750 we need to test if it still works. I think your best bet is ebay or maybe a few forums where they have FS/FT sections.

foxconn make a lot of oem boards for dell and such.

Please dont get foxconn. Next to biostar their the cheapest motherboards, low quality..

Do it once and right. Grab a Gigabyte or Asus ,,,,,,,,,, and what not..

If you are not ocing try here

checked geeks.com ? They are a legit Internet retailer, and they deal a lot in refurb older boards.

Edit: They have a mistakenly listed H77 board under 1156 boards. Don't buy that one.

Oh man, I imagine they have to sit on stuff for a while, but I bet they bought it at 50% or less (hell, probably 20%) of what they are trying to sell stuff for
