So as you may have figured, I'm planning on building an NES PC to run emulators and such. Since I'm not a computer builder, I wanted to know if you kind folks could recommend me a Mini-ITX mobo under $80. It needs to have a CPU included.

So far I've found two that seem promising, but I'm not sure:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product

Or if there is one over $80, but it would be worth it, that would be fine too. Thanks!

I'd also recommend the dual-core atom. Enough grunt for old school game emulation with low power consumption. I've known many to use them for low powered servers or media center front end use so this should do fine.

Before I built my computer, while I was looking for the parts I was thinking about getting a mini-ITX board that had socket 775 and integraded GEForce 9300 graphics. I don't remember what it was called, but I'd still be interested in using it for a nettop-sized computer if I ever have money again.
