Thanks everyone for all their suggestions so far.  I've already purchased an 
ATI X800XL PCIe card, and I'm trying to decide between these 3 motherboards 
(unless you have a better suggestion):

DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D
http://www.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_spec_details_r_us.jsp?PRODUCT_ID=3471&CATEGORY_TYPE=LP&SITE=US

ASUS A8V-E Deluxe

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=637


I'm weary of all the mentions of NForce this and NVRaid that -- how well 
supported is any of this in Linux?  Am I going to have to be constantly 
installing binary drivers just to keep my system stable?  Ideally, I don't 
want to have to use any binary drivers for anything.

Last round of suggestions please.  Thanks for your help.
