Okay smart techies, I’m building my son a computer I have everything else I need but the motherboard. Looking for one under 100USD capable of overclocking nice but not mandatory.
No need for onboard video, or audio but wouldn’t mind a decent audio because that would free up a PCI audio card.
No ebay as returns on motherboards have been a 10% chance in my experience so prefer a reputable online/brick store.
I would also prefer out of box 45nm support because I do not want to open another computer to get a 65nm out to bios flash the new mobo.
At least one PATA is needed, and 1 PCI-E x16, firewire is not needed, full ATX but if good enough deal can utilize micro.
I haven’t built one in years but I have upgraded close from the ground up recently, so any advice given would be appreciated in case I missed something.
ETA: Reason I put it in the game room is because I see a lot of gamers in here, and no one knows how to build a system like a gamer.
