Anyone have a spare oldish motherboard (SocketA or similar) with several PCI slots?

Hi, and sorry for the off topic.
I have a Linux server running as a MythTV backend with 4 PCI tuner
cards. It's an Asus A7N8X Motherboard with an Athlon 3000 processor.
Unfortunately it has become unstable and I think it's the motherboard
itself since I tried with different RAM.
Most new budget motherboards only have 1 or 2 "old fashioned" PCI
slots and it would be a waste to spend lots of money on something that
really doesn't need very much CPU power..
In the name of recycling, I thought I'd ask if any of you have a spare
motherboard with at least 4 PCI slots, that you don't use anymore and
would be willing to part with for a reasonable price. If it's not a
Socket A but it has a working CPU (~1.5GHz or more) that would also
work.
If so I'd be happy to pick it up ASAP!
Thanks,
Thomas
