Get a AIC-7880 or 7890 (7890 supported now in cam) on the mother board. 
These are like the 2940UW scsi cards sold separately. Ditto the Intel
10/100B NIC. Lots of mobos have these now.

You save two PCI slots. You save money.

I have no recommendations about the other hware, except avoid 10K RPM
drives unless your case has /good/ cooling.
