Several refurb. RAID MoBos on NewEgg around $60

[nataraj]

There are several RAID MoBos on NewEgg for about $60. I went with ABIT NV7-133R for $56. This has 5-ch audio, SPDIF (optional bracket), usb 2.0, LAN, DDR support apart from RAID. Only 5 left. They also have KT266A based boards.

Another option would be to get new ECS KT333 based RAID board for $65 shipped (see pricewatch).

BTW, NewEgg also has refurb. ECS k7s5a for $35.

The KX7-333R at $61 is another good board, especially for overclocking. Board is $1 less than the non-RAID version.

Scored the MSI KT3 ULTRA-ARU for $75. =] Pretty good reviews.

I was considering this at first ... does not have USB 2.0 (looks like) ... also the AT review was not very glowing ... The other Abit RAID KT333 board (AT7) has good reviews.

Guys......consider yourselves warned. When they say "The accessory items are not included", there's a good chance that you won't be getting anything other than the board. If you will notice, the Abit AT7 shown has proprietary design on the sound ports which require a proprietary backplate. I got burned on this kind of a deal a couple of weeks ago with some ASUS boards.....No backplate in the box, and after a couple of days of searching on the web, trying to contact Asus, and thinking about getting out the Dremel and making my own, I sucked up the return freight charges and got a full RMA.

This is NOT always the case, but you're taking a gamble either way.
