AParsh135i over SD found this deal.
Intel DQ45EK Intel Q45 Socket 775 Mini-ITX Motherboard w/Dual DVI, Audio, GbLAN & RAID - Motherboard Only $26.99
Good for if you have some old C2D/C2Q CPUs collecting dust.
Would make a good budget HTPC iTX build.
Maybe not great for a main living room or Theatre room but for a bedroom setup.
For a new build you can't really go wrong with FM2 build. but if you have the parts this could repurpose an old computers for not so much money.
