FYI, NewEgg _does_ have a server mainboard category:  
  http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=302  

An Intel E7210 with two (2) PCI-X 66MHz slots starts at $180:

A ServerWorks HT1000 with one (1) PCI-X 133MHz slot starts at $235:

There are also various options with PCIe x4 and x8 slots (with or
without PCI-X) for storage/communication (in case your storage or you
have a more powerful, off-chipset GbE) is a PCIe x4 or x8
card) for both single Socket-478/LGA-775 as well as Socket-939.

The world is in need of solutions.  Unfortunately, people
seem to be more interested in blindly aligning themselves
with one of only two viewponts -- an "us v. them" debate
that has nothing to do with finding an actual solution.
