Hello,
looking for a motherboard which supports Intel Q8400 2.6Ghz, DDR2 8500 1066Mhz with at least 4 sata port and 6 USB 2 ports.

This was the only one I could find on Newegg. Biostar isn't the best brand for motherboards, and it might be worth your while to find a motherboard that has fewer USB ports on the back panel and use a breakout to get the additional ports, in exchange for better build quality.

I checked the CPU support and the Q8400 is listed, but without knowing the model number for the RAM I couldn't check for certain if your RAM is qualified on the board.

If you're fine at running your RAM at 800, or using a USB breakout, it would open up your options substantially, and you'd probably find something a little better.

@Grianaig:

This board only has 4 rear-panel USB ports - just in case you don't have a rear panel breakout. The ASUS board looks nice, and is a good brand, but is no longer available new. If you wanted that one you'd have to buy one from someone else - not that there's necessarily any problem with that. CPU support looks good on both of them though.
