Slot-1 mATX motherboards with AGP are somewhat pricey. I can't find anything for less than 100€ which is way too much.
Are there perhaps less know models which may go at lower prices? I'm fine even with OEM motherboards.

Well, it depends entirely on the seller. Here, take a look at this
https://www.ebay.com/itm/266456785581?hash=it … ABk9SR_b6lNjnYg
A-Trend ATC-1020 V1.1 ❇ Cyrix 6x86 150+ @ 120MHz ❇ 32MiB EDO RAM (8MiBx4) ❇ A-Trend S3 Trio64V2 2MiB
Aztech Pro16 II-3D PnP ❇ 8.4GiB Quantum Fireball ❇ Win95 OSR2 Plus!
I have to double check but I'm pretty sure that in the matx case that I'll use a baby AT motherboard won't fit because there is an HDD cage.
Something like this? 😉

What are your other requirements other than uATX, Slot 1 and AGP?
Do you need:
- ISA?
- 100 or 133MHz FSB support?
- Coppermine/Tualatin voltage support?
- Certain max supported memory?
- Universal AGP 2.0 4x?
- Compatible with SBLive?
etc
In general 1997-1999 OEM boards are most likely to have Slot 1 in that form factor, but that means you have chipsets that frequently will only support pre-Coppermine (or ever pre-Deschutes) Slot 1 CPUs, 66MHz FSB, AGP 1.0 (think: FIC VL-603, Gigabyte GA-6EM). Conversely there exist boards with 133MHz FSB but these are rare as hens teeth, they might not have ISA slots and there's a good chance they have a Via 686B southbridge that doesn't play nice with an SBLive (think: AOpen MX64)

Yeah, is it an OEM? Can't understand model name.

The CPU will be a PII Deschutes @350Mhz, so 100Mhz FSB. Don't need Coppermine support since I already have two socket 370 systems (a Coppermine and a Tualatin). GPU will be a Matrox G200.
I haven't decided the sound card yet so maybe an ISA slot would be nice to have in case. But it's not essential.
If G200 can be integrated on board (so no AGP slot) there is currently HP D7600-60004 (SHERWOOD-B) SLOT1 motherboard on polish auction site allegro.pl (about 25€).

Its a Siemens D1115 motherboard. PM?

I wanted a mATX because I already had only a mATX case available but yesterday just before closing time a PC arrived in my office to be scrapped... and it's a nice black full ATX case with an IDE DVD-ROM and floppy, both with black faces.
Of course now that case is safe at my home!
That broadens your options significantly, and with a P2 Deschutes, any i440BX board would be a perfect match.
I recently acquired a Biostar M6VBE for a low price (not from ..bay). But I don't know common market prices for that.
A MSI MS-6156 should also be a good fit (available with Intel BX chipset but also as a Via Apollo Pro 133 variant, the latter being more common as it seems). Have seen these relatively often for well below 100 EUROs in recent times, mostly in combination with a P III 500-650MHz.
Edit: both are µATX, have AGP, 3 PCI, one ISA and ESS Solo1 / Creative ES1373 soundchips onboard.

Are these any real good? Or just low quality but available? To understand.
I was offered a few and can't really get around the idea of buying. They are: CT-6ATA2, BTA2 and BTML.
Ok, if someone wants to use a slot board but is it worth it with these brands?
That's preventing me from buying. Not that I need them as I have a few too many...
PC#1 Pentium 233 MMX - 98SE
PC#2 PIII-1Ghz - 98SE/W2K
I don't recommend SIS based Slot1 motherboards due to poor memory performance

There is in general nothing wrong with Chaintech motherboards as a brand but the CT-6ATA2 that you mention is based on the Apollo Pro133 chipset and the one that I once owned was annoyingly slow = read much slower than 440BX.
I will look into every option, the Chaintech models with integrated sound card seem a good idea. I'm not interested in 100% DOS compatibility, I do have other dedicated systems for that.

Bumping this thread cause I'm looking for exactly this kind of choice for my 9x build. PM?
I've got an ASUS P3B-1394 which I've found to be a pretty good Slot 1 mATX. The onboard firewire for which it is named isn't too useful, but the onboard Aureal Vortex 2 sound certainly is! It's a proper 440BX with 100MHz FSB support. It even has a fairly "modern" ATX power connector placement. Only real complaint with the board is that it has non-reconfigurable IRQs shared with certain PCI slots, which can complicate resource management with add-on cards.
