Two Major Options (AMD ThunderBird for sure):
A. Asus A7v - Excellent Board.
B. Gigabyte GA-7ZX - A well made M/B too. It Includes Dual BIOS which is very good for itself.

I use Asus for personal use and Asus,tyan and Gigabyte for customers systems.
Never had any DOA's Had a few Asus boards fail in machines anda couple tyans but not had a Gigabyte fail yet.

IMHO the best of the budget boards is Shuttle. They also provide some of the easiest reading documentation.

They are inexpensive and stable. Tyan is another. Ive had mixed experience with FIC some great ones but a number of DOAs.

I used to stick to strictly FIC, but they seemed to go to h*ll over the the last year or two....Now I use either Gigabyte or Asus!

A pretty good mobo for cheap PC's with everything built in for under $80 is the 599 and 598LMR made by PC Chips. After you get the hang of configuring them they are good little board for sub $400 PC's.
