I'll give a good nod to my current board, a Soyo SY-K7V Dragon Plus! VIA
KT266A 100/133 FSB.  It has onboard sound and LAN, but both are well
supported, and can be put aside with a simple change under BIOS.  It was
a really good option for me, initially, because when I built this box, I
was somewhat low on cash.  The onboard stuff saved me a few $$$ early
on, though i've since upgraded the sound card to a Soundblaster Live
5.1.  It also has onboard RAID, and supports up to 3GB of PC2100
DDR-SDRAM.  Very, very smooth little board, even with just 256MB.  I
haven't made use of the RAID yet, but from what I understand, it works
just fine.

Both the processor and mobo have come down quite a bit in price since I
bought it, so you could probably get them cheaply from a place like
newegg.com or directron.com...assuming you want something in the 1+ghz
range.
