Need a Micro-atx board for a Mac pro mod

[montanamike]

Hey folks:
I looking for a micro-atx board for my build, it's the last thing I need, having gathered all the other pieces I need to complete this project. I had planned to use a “Gigabyte GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 LGA 1155 Z68 mATX Intel Motherboard" but finding one has eluded me.
I live in the USA and haven't succeeded in getting one thru auction on EBay. I was impressed by mooner's project found at: viewtopic.php?f=76&t=23285

And this being the latest of Half a dozen builds I would really like one that is fully compatible having as few custom kext's and having sleep/awake all working. I have always used Asus boards in the past as I prefer them over others. Though I have never had any of them meet this level of compatibility. I'm open to any board that will work at this level.
Forgot to add, I have made the bluetooth mod and the ir mod using the apple parts and tested them on one of the other hacks I have and know they work.

Thanks for the info, it's funny but after all these years (my first hack being a Asus P5Q Pro board I had to use a modified bios to make work) I never realized this was the case with the Gigabyte boards...maybe I just missed that bit of info or maybe we should add that to the info on the title page of the “DSDT database page” to help noobs like myself. Lol

I had checked Micro Center already the board listed is a mistake as it is not really in stock. I did get one, though "open box" from Newegg as you listed. thanks for the input.
On another note I just purchased a working 2005 G5 on EBay...waiting for it to be delivered before deciding whether to Mod it or keep it as is for nostalgia sake. lol
