What role is that system going to play?
I assume server because I'd put money down that in excess of
99% of CentOS installations are servers. (that number
started at 95% and I kept jacking it up higher the more
I thought about it..)
In which case..
Supermicro has a pretty large selection of Istanbul-ready
boards, you don't really mention any special requirements
outside of OS compatibility so it's hard to say what board
is best:

Pretty much all of them should work fine with CentOS 5, of course
I would avoid the on board controllers for disks, use an external
controller like a 3Ware or something mainly for performance
reasons.
Tyan has plenty of good boards too.
