My best results on mother boards have been eic FIC . They make a wide range of boards and have a wide range of prices from simple to everything including the kitchen sink types. I have some good results with asus, people will probably give you a wide arrangement of answers to most based on personal experiences which is cool , but it means you will find a different motherboard for each type of personallity. you may want to for your customer to be able to have a ease of use type computer and then the thing that may be more important is a simple bios. I would say go for award bios on that this person probably doesn't need to be tweaking his system to hard and award has very accomadating default settings. I hope this helps.
