Yes, there is. However, there are none with onboard video. You don't have to get one with onboard video. Sometimes it is a good idea though. That way you can have the system up and running then just buy a better video card later.
Sorry for being a pest, but what would be the best mobo without integrated graphics for either socket 754 or 939? My unkies will buy my Video Card ^_^.
There are a number of good choices for socket 939. Since you are on a budget I would suggest the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2. It is around $68 (USD) last time I checked. It is a great overclocker, has both AGP and PCI-E and there will be a Socket M2 add-on card released.
Now that I think about it that is probably the perfect option for you. It is definitely upgradable with the Socket M2 add-on card being released and it is really cheap.
Er, a stupid question, but I know how the motherboard connects into the I/O slots at the back of the case, how does it connect to the ones at the front?

I found the ASRock 939NF4G-SATA2 for 10$ more, so I think I'll opt for it.

My motherboard has connectors on it for USB and Firewire. A cable plugs into these and goes to the ports on the front of the case. Just about every motherboard works like this.
So theres 2 for the front, and 2 for the back, right?
What has to be connected in the front depends on the case. In the back just fit the the motherboard into the IO panel. Most likely you will ahev to use the one supplied with your motherboard as the one supplied with your case may not fit correctly.
