I really like these guys:

My other advice: go with a good serial ATA for the hard disks. If you want to make sure a disk crash doesn't kill you, mirror them with a good disk controller. Otherwise, I'd go for RAID 0 madness.
If you can afford a dual processor setup, do it. If makes a huge difference. I run Windows apps all the time. I've got this dual 333 box at work that runs some apps like a champ. It would choke if it were a single 333.
Don't forget a good UPS system. I can't tell you how many systems I have to rebuild because of dirty power. It's ridiculous that people pay $1500 putting a killer system together and then plug it straight into the wall "because an $80 UPS is unnecessary."
