ASRock H81 PRO BTC R2.0 - $80

Why do folks insist on recommending a board that has been OUT OF PRODUCTION AND IN VERY SHORT SUPPLY (when you can find them at ALL?) for 2+ years now?

For reference, Intel stopped making the chipset that board uses ballpark *4* years back.

Says who, you? The board is available and has been all week, which is why I recommended it as a cheap motherboard specifically made for mining with 6 cards. Do you have a better suggestion for a board in that price range that supports 6 cards and is available?

The board is available WHERE?
In what quantity?
Used, or refurb, or VERY LIMITED left over new stock from when they WERE still being made?

I have seen a LOT of links to that board for sale - only to turn up with "out of stock" notices when I got curious and checked them, or other folks check them and state "out of stock now".
It seems to be a good board for riser rigs *WHEN* you can get them, but it's not a good board to recommend when it hasn't been MADE for years, unless you're also going to recommend alternatives that ARE current production and have been more reliably available over the past year.

ASRock has put out some more recent "mining" targeted boards, but I don't pay much attention to them as I don't build riser rigs and couldn't care less how many PCI-E 1x slots a board has.

You are clueless or a troll. As I said in my response, the board has been and still is available on Newegg NEW for $80. If you even bothered to click the link before posting your unhelpful nonsense you would see that. The H81 BTC R2.0 was and still is the newest mining motherboard from Asrock that was update from the original R1.0. Only within the last week did Asrock release the new H110 Pro BTC+ with 13 PCI-E slots. The other mining boards are also available on Newegg including the Biostar TB85 and TB250.
