ECS board should cost around $20 - You have put the cost of trouble shooting into consideration...

No DVI, VRM subcircuit doesn't use solid capacitors and only 6 mosfets total. Definitely built to lowest price-point.
Might be reasonable to build something with a 45W or less non-overclocked CPU, if you need a system with a serial and parallel port.

Wow. I didn't know these were still around. I used this board for a build in January 2007. Still works great however. No complaints.
