Does anyone know where I can find a GOOD mobo for a emachines replacement mobo. The mobo burnt out because of the Power Box. I replaced the power box now. Theres this Biostar MOBO on newegg Newegg.com - BIOSTAR P4M80-M4 Socket 478 VIA P4M800 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail but I read alot of reviews on it and most of the people said it was DOA (Dead On Arrival) and had to send it back several times. Any other Socket 478 boards out there does anyone know?

Thanks!

I'd go either with that Biostar or the Asus right below it...

I prefer Asus over-all, but either should be basically the same. As for DOA, I didn't check the reviews, but be sure and order them by date. Obviously if 30 people say they got DOA's in a row, there's a problem... But if they are scattered, you'd probably be ok.
