Hardware suggestion please

Hello,

I recently replaced my old desktop PC due to a failed disk controller on the motherboard. The CPU and RAM, while dated, are still good and I'd like to use them to build another Astaro box.

The CPU is an Athlon II X4 630 which uses the AM3 socket. I'm having trouble trying to find a low-priced motherboard to use this CPU that will run Astaro.

My use-case is a home with three people but lots of connected devices, and lots of streaming media. Internet connectivity is presently 40 Mbps. Home is on the list of cities being evaluated for Google Fiber, so internet connectivity may jump up to 1 Gbps in the next few years. I'm not going to hold my breath on Google Fiber, however.

Is anyone aware of a suitable motherboard for this setup? I'd like to use this old hardware if I can instead of buying all new stuff.

Thanks!
