Gigabyte does, their X38 chipset lineup is close to perfect:

You've got a GA-X38-DS4 which gives everything, just 1 ethernet port and 6 internal SATA ports in all for $199.

You've got the 1337 GA-X38-DQ6 that's a close to complete design for $270, $20 more and you have the DDR3 variant of the same board, the GA-X38T-DQ6 it's just with the fusion block thing, etc otherwise this board performs on-par/better than the ASUS X38 lineup.
