I picked up this board new from an eBay seller... i945G chipset embedded graphics for a server project. I was very pleasantly surprised to see the board entirely populated with FC and FJ Panasonic caps. Micro-ATX boards seem to be somewhat harder to find, and I got lucky with this one. I wanted the small form factor + embedded lo-tech video. DDR2-667 and four SATA 3.0gb.
It is socket 775, but won't take any of the Core 2s, so I found a nice P4 641 3200/2M/800 Cedar Mill for $46. SL9KF, latest D0 stepping. 65w TDP. The guy is selling 50 of these with a refund warranty. Considering the low wattage, I can probably get away using a stock Core 2 fan that is unused after a HSF upgrade.
