Looking for a cheap board to put my newly acquired i3-2100 into. I don't care about overclocking since it is an i3, and mATX or ATX would suit my needs fine as I don't plan to SLI or Crossfire.

I hope the board would have SATA3 and USB3 connector, and maybe a HDMI or VGA port just in case my graphics card fails, but price is the main concern. Please send me any reasonable offers, keep in mind that I can buy:

http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=71602&vpn=H61M-P31%20%28G3%29&manufacture=MSI%2FMicroStar&promoid=1360 - for $50 new after MIR, but no SATA3 or USB3, and
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=70273&vpn=GA-B75M-D3H&manufacture=Gigabyte&promoid=1261 - for $70 new after MIR. This one has both SATA3 and USB3

Thanks!

I hate to inform you but the rebates have now expired. Maybe there will be more for the month of August.
I found this for you though: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130639
You can price match the MSI MOBO to $50.99, which is pretty much the same price before, but no hassle of a rebate. Cheers,

Had you found this a day earlier, it would've been $40.99 after the rebate, which is what I was about to do, but refrained.
