Need a New / Second Hand motherboard with some pci slots!

Any recommendations for motherboards?

I want a few PCI slots as its going to be my media centre box, and I have a few cards I need to install..

Ideall I would take PC2-5300 Dimms as I have 6x 1gb that came out of a server at work

Any suggestions?

i recently built a dual core system or someone on a budget, I used an asrock mobo about £30 ish quid from computer hardware, components, systems and peripherals at the lowest prices from IT supplier Aria Technology

It had pci, pci e and also agp so options are covered for future expandability. It also had 7.1 sound as well.
