Another thing you might consider is that:
  a) All the component boards (especially VGA and Disk controller) might 
     have default setups that conflict (eg, shadow ram vs VGA BIOS extension
     vs Controller BIOS extension). If you end up with such a conflict, they
     are incredibly hard to find.
  b) The vendors you buy the component boards from will almost always point
     the finger at the "other" board manufacturer.

So, for about $200 more you get the same higher quality, plus a guarantee
that all the components will work together, which, in my limited experience,
is more than worth it.
