This is one helluva nice case if you are willing to spend a few more bucks.
I have this one & it's very nice.

Nearly every motherboard of decent quality will have what you need. Honestly there are tons of features on todays chipsets and its just a simple thing of running the traces and putting the ports on. Take as much as you can get within your price point, stick with good brands (Asus, Gigabyte, abit, eVGA to name some) and you're set. Very rarely do true problems arise that are actual problems of the motherboard but instead the chipset. I've leaned more towards Intel's chipsets for Intel processors. They're simply proven to be stable and don't have the weird qirks Nvidia ones often do.

One final change: hard drive.

I'd go with this Seagate. The reason is that it has a 16MB cache and slightly better performance in other areas as well. The size increase is nice as well, end of this year to mid next I seriously think we'll start seeing 20GB+ game installs.

Otherwise looks excellent.

Since you are a system builder, you should be able to buy the Vista OEM and save some bucks.
