They're fairly common on ebay I think. I have one around here somewhere
with dead IDE. You can also look for Micronics W6LI, which have options
for sound and scsi... one of those was my first ppro board. 

Helpful note, you should be able to use Sun Ultra 5/10 memory in the
providence-class (PR440FX, W6LI) boards. If you're upgrading from
32meggers it's a good place to find the dimms. But yeah, they are
expensive.

I also have a couple of SuperMicro (I think) AT dual PPro that take normal
72pin simms. Got them at a swap meet last year. They are out there, but
not as common as the Providence boards.
