Just like the title says, I want to get an idea of the popular mobo brands.

If you could vote then tell why you went with that board, that would be much appreciated.

I have 2 hacks. The first uses a msi h61m-p23 board that was almost free from microcenter if you purchased a G620 pentium with it maybe a year and a half ago. The other is a GIGABYTE GA-H61M-D2P-B3. It was an open box at microcenter that was priced at 27 bucks. Both fit well into my budget.

I made a mistake when I chose Intel over the recommended Gigabyte. It took a loooooong loooong time to make it work.

I have an ASUS but it seems like the Gigabytes are the best for compatibility

ASUS x79 Sabertooth. Best for raw power! No power management is overrated.
