Looking for mainboard with pci-2.3 slots and available new

[Olderstuff]

Hi out there,

I am using a Pci-SAT expansion card on an older Foxconn mainboard running under Linux in a PVR-setting.
The mainboard is decaying (irregular, unintended reboots when under load; bulging electrolytic capacitors).
So I need/want a new mainboard, the Intel platform is preferred (but not a must).
Because of the (old) Pci-2.0/2.3 connector of the card I need a MB with at least 2 of these older Pci-slots.
Above that it should have SATA2 or still better SATA3 connectors and LAN + sound onboard.
USB-2 would do for me.
Board should have the better non-leaking capacitors of modern boards.
The processor can be a low-end type, as the machine does not do hard work.
The system should run under Linux again.

My problem: how to find a board according to these demands in the myriad of boards the bigger makes (Asus, Gigabyte, Asrock, Biostar, Intel and so on) have on their factory-sites?
Not speaking of the boards that are on these sites and appear to be not-available in the trade.. (obsolete? out of production?).

Any of you who can suggest some boards OR a strategy for me to find what I need?

Thanks for reading and your help on this.

I recommend using PCPartPicker.com to find a motherboard that fits your needs. You can browse motherboards and filter for desired features on the left side including specifically for legacy PCI slot(s). The link I submitted filters for motherboards that have a single PCI slot.

In my experience the most common and affordable niche of motherboards to have legacy PCI are micro-ATX types that are marketed for business class desktops. Good luck with your search. I hope you find what you're looking for at your desired price point.

Supermicro and friends make boards for this exact application, but you ought to make sure you really need those boards before putting $250 (+CPU, RAM, cooler, drives) towards one; the Supermicros are designed for industrial and scientific users interfacing with $10Ks+ of hardware (cameras, DAQs, etc) and for home use its often more economical to upgrade the expansion cards.
