I'm looking for an inexpensive motherboard that has display out and pci slots. I prefer full size but micro atx might be ok. The H67 seem to run around $100 but none seem to have display out (perhaps I missed one?) and the micro-atx boards seem to not have pci slots.
-
The z68 asrock extreme 4 seems to have the features I would like (display out; appears reliable; and 2 pci slots).
-
While I'll probably go with the 2500K (micro center $179) I do not require overclocking. This is for a linux system I use for web browsing; watching tv (cable; not over the air), email and (reason for processing power) transencoding. It is currently an e6300/7300 gs which seems to struggle since I've upgraded the monitor from 1280x1024 to 1920x1080.
-
The primary motivation for pci slots is the old tv tuner I have (bt240) from 2000. The reason for a full size case is the system will have 5 hd (currently has 3).
