Socket 775 Motherboard Replacement Help

[bluesatin]

I currently own a setup that goes a little something like this:

Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
Intel Q6600 G0
4x 1GB DDR2-800 OCZ XTC Platinum
GeForce 8800GTS 640MB

Unfortunately my motherboard seems to be giving up the ghost, I'm having issues with large v-droops and random restarts; I've checked all my components and the only thing that it seemingly could be is my motherboard.

I've also recently bought myself 4x 1TB Spinpoint F3s to put into my PC in some sort of backup RAID fashion, whether that be RAID1 or RAID5. Something I didn't realise is that my motherboard only supports raid on the 2 Gigabyte SATA ports, meaning I haven't been able to actually put them in my PC yet anyway.

So my first question is, where on earth can I still buy some ATX socket 775 motherboards?

I've looked around everywhere and retails shops only seem to sell some bad mini-atx socket 775 motherboards, and the second hand ones I see around seem to cost more than they did new in retail.

My second question is, what motherboard would suit me best. There seemed to be 2 recommended in the vast majority of places I could see (these were usually 2-3 years old though), they were the "ASUS P5Q Pro" and the "Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R/L".

AVForums classifieds usually have a few decent boards going cheap. Other than that, 30 more posts and you get to use the classifieds here.

Thanks for the heads up about the AVForums classifieds, I didn't realise there was another massive classified section other than the Hexus one.

(Also, sneaky +1) (:

I've got a P5Q Deluxe for sale in the Hexus Classifieds. Fully working, comes in the original box and with all the accessories. I'm now asking for £70 and open to reasonable offers.

PM me for more details if you like ;-)

I might have found myself a bargain on the AVForums, but with my luck it'll probably fall through; so I'll make sure that you're next on my list!

Thanks for the heads up though. :J
