Not sure what you're looking to spend but I just bought 2 ECS k7s5a mb's for 150 or so w/shipping(fedex ground) from icompz.com. They're not the best for OC'ing but they came with 10/100 already, no video though. I am not sure about the Amptron 810LMR. THey are pretty cheap and they all in one types.

u should ask stanman

I'd like to but don't know how to reach him. I can't send him an email from the o/c forums :(.

If you've got some ddr, I'd look at Shuttle's ak31. It overclocks very nicely and is very stable. I think theyre running around 90 each.

Shuttle AK12A is about $50. Uses DIMMs. Stable so far.
Looks good for overclocking. ONE THING - this really messed me up for a while. An AGP 1.0 compliant video card will NOT work. Got to be a newer card. Got to be AGP 2.0 compliant.

My roommate got an ECS K7S5A and it's neato..... works with SDRAM or DDR, whatever you've got laying around. Onboard lan, can't beat that. Scrounge up an old PCI or ISA video card and you've got a full working folding system there, no need for any extra cards. Ideally you'd use this board with a 700 or so MHz Duron or a good stepping 1 GHz/200 FSB TBird, that way you could connect the L7's and bump the FSB to 133 and have a decent overclock on your hands.
