I have been building my systems with Abit IS-10 motherboards, but NewEgg has stopped carrying them, so I need to switch to something new.
Does anyone have any recommendations on a solid motherboard that works well with CentOS? I need a motherboard with built-in video, LAN, and SATA. I don't need RAID or any other fancy features, just something cheap and solid.
I've been looking around, but there are lots of boards that look like they would work and I know nothing about any of them. I was just wondering what you guys are using.
This might be out of your target price range, but we just received 32 Intel SR1425BK1-E based systems a few weeks ago, and to tell you the truth, they're the most rock-solid motherboards I've ever used. Period.
Looks like the board alone will run anywhere between $450-500 USD, but my experience tells me that it was well worth it.
You can find more information here:

They've been running CentOS 4.2 flawlessly for about two weeks now under extremely heavy load, and we haven't seen any problems.
Yea... That's a bit out of my price range. I'm looking for cheap boards.
