Your opinion on the best mobod for under $200

I am going to build another computer for myself this time and was just curious about other people's opinions on the best board for under $200. I am not a gamer and may or may not overclock. I do video editing and will have an e-sata backup so would possibly like the e-sata port. Not a must though. I would like to have a firewire port and many sata hookups. Also at least 2-3 usb connectors on the board. I want a great quality board. Thanks.
If you don't want to reply because there are other topics on this then don't reply. Thanks again.
 
I'm guessing this is for an Intel build...socket 775?
Anyway, might want to look at Asus P5B-e and P5B-Dlx as they both seem to have what you're looking for. If you're not going to really o/c the P5B-e should be fine. That's if this is even the right platform you're looking at though.
 
What's the difference between the P5B-E and the P5B-Deluxe when overclocking? I will be building a rig around the E4300 shortly and would love to know!
 
I like my Bad Axe 2 ($199 at Tigerdirect). It has 8 SATA ports (one is an E-SATA but you have to buy a PCI slot bracket separately) plenty of USB ports, firewire, 8 channel HD audio and best of all a 3 year warranty.

I don't overclock but the board has the capability and stability to be a strong overclocker. As for quality it's Intel on Intel. My board has been stable as the proverbial rock.
