As stated in the title, does anyone know where to find one? My current one kicked the bucket after i spilled some cider on it and have sent the system for diagnostics at Computer Lounge and they have confirmed that only the motherboard is down.

A new system is pricey so I am trying to keep costs by only replacing the motherboard but so far, Trademe and surprisingly Amazon has failed me when it comes to look for stock. Motherboard has to be specifically mitx as I bring my desktop to different countries (international student).

So perhaps any leads?

ask on gpforums.co.nz ? or someone with good reputation can help you ask - they are not necessarily as friendly as GZers

Doubt you'll find one easy. I tried to get a decent one off eBay recently but all they had at reasonable prices were low spec H61 boards. The main problem with 1155 is that ITX just wasn't that prevalent a form factor for that generation. It wasn't until Haswell that ITX really got popular.

I got one. But I am using it.

Its an Asrock H61m-dgs

They are not toooo hard to find. I only have a pentium G620 in it, but was thinking of replacing it with an i5-2400/2500 from off trademe for about $60-$70. Its in a cool case under my TV: http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/h61m-dgs/ hence the need for an mATX. Or else I would probably have done a swap.
