I liked the ASUS P2B-F motherboard, especially its emphasis on PCI slots
versus ISA slots.  The LAN Admin/PC guy at the client I work for currently
agreed with me (there is no better barometer of a person's intelligence
than how often they agree with you) and built about six PCs using the ASUS
P2B-F mb for developer use (including mine). The motherboard runs about
$140.00

The old AT&T Unix that is strong does not wither, 
Deep roots are not reached by frost.              

From the ashes of Spec1170 a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;            
Renewed shall be the Unix OS that was broken,     
Linux shall be king.
