I would go for the SLI board, in case you wanted to run dual vid cards later.

This is the board I chose.

I got a case w/ a front panel cover ... never again. At least the one I got had one bay open. So I didn't have to keep opening the door to access at least one drive.

I've never liked the idea of built in wifi. I prefer wireless cards.

You say that now. I'm planning to build a new pc with an SLI board. And I was going to go with two 6800GTs, but decided to get one 6800 Ultra now, and get one later.

No reason to have 2 6800GTs, then decide to upgrade to the ultras and have both.

always plan for upgrades.

http://www.xoxide.com/thermaltake-twv500w-modular-psu.html

and here theres a link for calculating power needs so you have to specify your hardware and it will give you the minimun psu to that value add an 30%:

well is possible but sometimes if you dont use the proper tools that plastic material can shatter or can get crack around the hole.

but it can be done just with the proper tools
