As far as the $50 open box motherboards, maybe it is because I have never looked specifically for them, but quite honestly I have never seen them for $50. In fact, I have rarely seen SuperMicro LGA SuperMicro boards for under $150, though admittedly its been a few months since I looked. I'd probably go with the X8DTi-F because its an E-ATX standard size, so if you want to put it in a case, you can find a few that will take it.
Bearcat, how much better are the Thermalright coolers than stock passive SuperMicro coolers or other LGA 1366 coolers you are using?
