Need a few older mobos to look for.

So I realized today that I've got most of a half-decent computer already together, apart from the mobo. All scavenged, haha. The important bits I have are:

Pentium 4 HT SL6WF (northwood)
2GB DDR 400 (4x512)
Radeon HD3450 (PCIe)

So what I'm after, ideally, is a Socket 478 motherboard that can support a CPU with an 800MHz FSB and HT, has 4 RAM slots, and has a PCIe slot. No overclocking. Pretty sure the 3450 can run on x4 without being bottlenecked. I'm not buying it immediately, so all I need right now is a few models to look out for when I go searching...I haven't found anything.

Supposedly Asus made one that fits this description but I can't find it. Thanks in advance for any help! :)

At those prices it may just be in your better interest to sell your DDR and CPU on ebay or such, and just throw it into a fund for a cheap athlon II or even sempron setup.

Also, good luck trying to find a 478 that is decent with pcie, pcie really wasnt really until skt 775.

Socket 478 mobo's are old tech and overpriced in my mind. For the price of a "decent" socket 478 mobo you might as well just get a lower end am3 or intel equivalent board which, has way better features, faster, and new tech.
