AMD Socket-A replacement MB recommendations sought

[Tinker]

I have a MSI kt333-ARU motherboard with bad capacitors. I may try to replace the caps, but I'd like to have a replacement board on hand - just in case I fry the mobo.

The only new socket-A boards I can find are Jetway and Pc Chips. Almost all the reviews are extremely negative for these boards, so I'm looking to Ebay for a good board.

My system config is in my sig: so to recap, I'm looking for a mobo that can accommodate 3 IDE connections (ata133), 4x APG, DDR400 (pc3200), onboard ethernet, ATX, AMD 462-pin cpu, (do not need Raid)

I don't want another MSI board. The board I have has performed great, but I really don't want my replacement board to have leaky Taiwan caps. I need a good board with Japanese caps. Any recommendations for a replacement board?

The Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe was one of the better motherboards available. There were other brands that made good motherboards, you should look for the N Force 2 or N Force 2 Ultra chipsets. ASUS and Gigabyte both had good boards bac for the K7.
