This board appears to suit my needs perfectly. Thanks, Dan!

That's not that big of a deal. Anyway, I already have a 1GB stick of
RAM that's compatible with this board. I also have the video card and
the RAID controller. I'd just need to pick up a processor, but 939
chips are common enough that it shouldn't be a problem.
Peace... Sridhar
