Need help choosing a motherboard

I'm working on a new computer, and I can't seem to decide on what motherboard to use. There are a few requirements, but otherwise it's completely up to you guys!

1) It has to be available on either NCIX.com or Infonec.com. Newegg.ca will be accepted ONLY if it's an AWESOME motherboard.

2) It HAS to be Micro-ATX.

3) I just want integrated video (preferably nVidia, this will be a Linux box), preferably with HDMI. DVI would be acceptable, but again, I'd like an HDMI port.

4) It can be either Intel or AMD, I could care less.

5) It can't be too expensive. Under $100 would be preferred; $120 and under is also fine. $150 is the absolute maximum.

Thanks in advance. If I missed any info lemme know.
