I noticed Fry's has a sale on the BioStar TH55B tonight where it's only $120 INCLUDING the i3 530 processor. I was about to order the ASRock H55M Pro, but if I can get this deal and the mobo is decent I'd rather save $100.
I just grabbed one last week as part of a Fry's package that included the Intel Core i5 661 for a bit more money.
I just got it up and running last night but so far no issues whatsoever. I have a cheap HD4350 powering video at the moment so I haven't tried using the built-in HDMI with Core i5 processsing video.
Board takes DDR3 which is great IMO. Dropped in 2x2GB Gskill and it runs like a champ. No USB 3.0 support if you care about that.
Haven't cracked the BIOS yet but will do that tonight and see what I like in there. Hope this helps...
