HTPC Motherboard Help

Last response: in Systems
Share

My local computer shop has the following H55 motherboards available that I would like to use for an HTPC build. Prices are in CDN dollars. If all three are poor options, I would be willing to go to a web vendor, but would like to support this local store if possible.

1) Asus P7H55D-M EVO $149.99

2) Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H $114.99

3) Intel Desktop Board DH55TC $109.99

Thanks

Thanks, I guess everyone else agrees or at least can't disagree with your assessment.

Is there a significantly better H5X board out there that would make it worth my while to not shop locally?

The Gigabyte board is a nice board. The price is decent too. When you take shipping into account it's nearly as cheap as Newegg except you get a $10 rebate when you buy it from Newegg.

GIGABYTE GA-H55M-UD2H LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $104.99 - $10 MIR

This board has USB 3.0 and the price is very good. This is the board I, personally, would get:

GIGABYTE GA-H55M-USB3 LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $109.99 - $10 MIR

Interesting option. The price difference between the two at newegg.ca is a bit more significant at $104.99 - NO MIR for the GA-H55M-UD2H vs $129.99 for the GA-H55M-USB3 (which happens to also be the price for the GA-H57-USB3).

Thanks for the suggested board, I will keep an eye on its price up till I purchase.

No problem. I didn't realize you were from Canada. I wouldn't pay $25 for the upgrade. I just posted it because it's only $5 on the US site. It's worth $5, but not $25 IMO. :)
