Ive also found these two,

The MSI RS(X)480M2 Motherboard 64bit AMD 939pin
And the Asrock 939A8X-M Socket 939 8xAGP+SATA+7.1 ch Audio

Both of which i found on ebay, as there seam to be very few places stocking any Matx Skt 939's

nforce4 is the best s939 chipset available. I think the ati and uli chipsets are aimed at the budget market. I'd go for the foxconn coz i read a good review of it in custom pc.
