Well, for my server systems, I got some $5 boards at Electronic Planet
in Amherst - basic SVGA boards.  They have a bin of boards at $5 each,
no guarantees, buyer beware.  You can find all sorts of stuff in
there:  network cards, video cards, IDE controllers, etc.  All old
stuff, but if you don't have high demands and are willing to take some
chances, it works pretty good.
