Good MoBo for Grandchildren?

[jsmileb]

Want to build up a serviceable puter for the grandchildren, oldest 8 yrs. Want to use a regular ATX board and old Intel 820 Processor (Socket 775) that i already have. I will be installing 2005 Media Center edition. What is a good reliable MoBo for this application?

Thanks, folks?

If anyone has a fully accesorized used one, I'd entertain. By "accessorized", I mean cables, back panel bezel, the stuff that typically comes with a new boxed MoBo.

What type of memory are you going to be using DDR or DDR2? Socket 775 you have a choice.

Also, do you want AGP, PCIe or just integrated graphics?

I have a PCI-express video card, that I forgopt to mention. I will need to buy memory. No particular preference.

Here is a decent one that will support either DDR or DDR2, depending on what you want to spend. DDR2 is generally cheaper right now.
