Looking for something like this:
- Intel i7 single LGA 1366 socket 8MB L3 cache
- 12 GB RAM DDR3-1066
- 1 Gigabit Ethernet Port
- VGA Output
no coreboot, sadly, this time.
Any recommendations?
Such desktop boards are hard to find because they assume you have a dedicated GPU. You could try a server board like this one, but its video chipset is quite basic, so don't expect 3D stuff to work on it. It also has some additional features you may not want, like IPMI and limited number of extension slots :)

Also, what's a good DRAM vendor?
Corsair is one of them, but they are relatively pricy.
Power supply?
I had good experience with Antec and Chieftec. Any supply greater than 500W made by these vendors would do, but you should calculate your power consumption to be on the safe side..
