How many PCI devices could you need? 2 for graphics, 1 forTuner, 1 for sound, 1 for wifi. What else is there?

Just pick a board where the PCIe16 slots cover the normal PCI slots so you dont lose any to a big graphics card.

You could always opt for an onboard Wi-Fi solution (although that may be as hard as finding a suitable motherboard with heaps of PCI slots). Similarly, you could et an external TV tuner.

Dan was considering going the way of the Skulltrail wtih his newest machine, but it's an extremely costly option, considering the two quad-core Extreme processors that you'd buy to accompany it.

Its just an LGA771 socket, surely you could whack in some Xeons that are more reasonably priced.
