Howdy, I've been thinking of building a cheap core2quad system to play with overclocking, are there any mobos that are good for overclocking but reasonably inexpensive? Thanks.

its called the solar system because our sun is called sol

Not a lot of 775 boards were designed for overclocking, but most boards from brands like Asus, Asrock, or Gigabyte will be good options.

Asus P5Q variants, Asus P5E variants, Gigabyte EP45 variants (preferably UD3R/UD3P) should be the cheapest options. For Asus check if the board you are looking at is actually a P45 or x48 board (the name doesn't specify it all the time sadly)

Xeon e5649@4.4 GHz on Asus Rampage II Extreme or Gigabyte x58a-OC (whatever I feel like to set up at a time) , 6x4 GB Kingston HyperX 1600, Gainward GTX 670 Phantom, Samsung 840 Evo 240 GB, BeQuiet L8 530W
