I just recently picked up an Abit AI7 from Mwave for $110.  It has some 
bells and whistles you may not want so you may pick up on of the models 
down (oh and look at the AMD offerings rather than the Intel ones). 
Perhaps the Abit KV7 for $61:

I have an old Abit board that I bought in 98 and has run prettymuch 24 
hours since then up until a month ago when I replaced it.  It still works.
