There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Depends on the socket you want to use.
Basically just get a mobo with one Pci e x16 and some small Pcie x1 and attach them a x16 to x1 converter, they work as well as the x16 for mining

Cheap?  You will have to find a board with multiple 1x slots and get riser cables.  But at that point you might as well just get a good bard.

I found two good boards that I like at a reasonable price of not much over £100:
-- Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC (£113) - X58 chipset, socket 1366 - it has 4 long double-slot spaced PCIe slots - ie. you can install 4 cards on board. Disadvantages are the socket 1366 (for Core i7 - expensive) - I got a used Xeon 5504 for it (another £100); and the fact that it doesn't have any additional PCIe x1
-- Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (£109) - AMD 990FX chipset, socket AM3/AM3+, 4x long PCIe (1 of them in single-spacing) + 2x PCIe x1. Cheap Sempron CPU available at ~£30.
I have to admit I've always liked how Gigabyte did things. I'm running the former board and will be getting the latter soon to re-build my second rig to allow better scaling.
