Budget Motherboard?

This is a discussion about Budget Motherboard? in the Windows Hardware category; I want to build a pc from scratch and would like to dabble in a bit of overclocking but cant find any motherboards for about £40 that have suitable bios options. Could anyone point me in the right direction?.

I'm not sure if it's going to make it, but look for Abit's IS7-E. Also, the Via PT880 chipset boards are quiet cheap, and I'd look at Abit's VT7 for that matter--since Abit is known for overclocking.

OP
Thanks for the help but ive done some more research and found the ASRock K7S8XE R3.0
The price is good and it gets some exelent reviews.

We used a few ASRock mobos in my old job, and although they were OK, I wouldnt have said they were particularly stable... I'd try to get a few more quid available and go for something a bit better... the gigabyte ga-7va has some overclocking features and is ~£50 inc vat.
 
But the decision is yours of course
