Those 10 motherboards I'd list one at a time, as if it's the only one in the whole wide world, then soon as it sells, list another one ; )
It aint hard to test stuff like that, even without a case, long as you have a power supply. You can hook everything up loose, laying out on the desk, just use a couple wires with alligator clips to the PS and mobo, floppy etc, for the ground. I used to use a picture of one sprawled out like that for my profile titled it "new build"

It's just like hooking one up in the case, only it's laying out on a desk (i'd suggest a wooden one ; ) and use the grounding clips between the major components. The grounds on a motherboard are usually where a screw goes though the board, you can see a wide spot around the hole

The old type power supplies have the switch built in, newer ones turn on through the mobo, just touch a tiny screwdriver to the power pins and it comes on, then remove the screwdriver, only takes a quick touch

Does this help with the different voltages??
