I would look at an Nvidia Chipset based graphics card, as you can locate
those relatively inexpensively. Plus, Nvidia does have easy to install
OpenGL compatible drivers available on their web-site. (Sure they aren't
Open Source, but in the end all that matters is good performing graphics,
which Nvidia delivers.)

Asus A7M266-D mother board. $204 at www.Newegg.com
Crucial RAM ECC registered.
No additional sound card, the Asus board has a 6 channel sound card!
WDC special edition IDE (JB series I think).
Either Samsung or IBM for the SCSI.
Tekram SCSI adapter.
You are set!
