Can't find an 1156 socket Mobo with great reviews

My budget is pretty much $150. The two mobos I found on Newegg - one from Asus, the other from Biostar - have some pretty bad reviews. Since Gigabyte is having their recall or whatever, I can't find anything with them. I must have some bad luck because 2 motherboards I've already received had physical damage to them already, and when I tried to RMA they said it was because of me and my packaging of the product... but they were in the same packaging they were sent in.

Just trying to find something that won't waste another ~$120. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, it's for an i5 750 CPU!

P.S. I know 1156 are slim pickings, unfortunately.

Can't find a site that's selling it. Nothing but reviews, and Newegg is apparently out of stock.

Im using an Asus P7P55D-E for my I5-750 and it's been a great board

I think that's the one I used before. I'm thinking of just trying an ASUS board again since they're still around, and might as well give it another shot.

Thank you both for your replies.
 
No probs hope it goes well for you.

I can't, for the life of me, find an Asus P7P55D-E. The Asus P7P55-LX was the one I previously ordered, and the reviews on the sights that have reviews aren't that great. They report the actual hardware having problems, not the firmware or anything. It's like all 1156 motherboards are going extinct slowly on the internet.
 
I don't know if you can still buy it, but the Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3 is a really good board. I think there are a ton of good reviews about it form back in the day.
