Asus, Soyo, Abit, and Epox Mobo's have good reviews as to loading RHL easily and without difficulty. I've loaded onto many Asus, Soyo and Epox personally (7.0 - 8.0 Redhat).
Seagate 36.7 10K U160 drive is one of the fastest around for a nice price (www.storagereview.com), especially in the workstation settings. (Fujitsu in the Server market). BTW I am biased against anything Maxtor, but just my opinion. The JB (Special Edition) class of Western Digital Drives are impressive indeed, and the 120GB version is in the $190 range. PC2100 DDR (Crucial has always done well) is a good place to start You'll need to up your price on the 21-inch monitor, some of the best ones are well over $1,000. It may be price competitive for you to scope out a quality (NEC, Iiyama) 19-inch "True Flat" CRT or 18.1 inch LCD. What about a case? Cooling?

Sounds decent. I would recommend an ATI video card as they are well supported.
