Biostar TA870+ is a decent mid-end model that offers complete chipset features, including some undocumented. On the upside, the motherboard controls CPU fan well, has eSATA and optical and coaxial S/PDIF Out ports, can withstand moderate CPU overclocking. On the downside, its analog audio output quality is relatively low. Besides, the IDE channel is provided by an auxillary controller, not the chipset.
