Well, at the advice of some people on the support forums, I decided to 
try the board outside of the case, with nothing but the monitor and 
keyboard connected.

Worked perfectly...

I'm wondering now if the USB hard drive that was plugged in was causing 
it to reboot itself. The cable has been a bit dodgy lately, and I 
noticed it flaked out a bit on the old MB, vista complained about it 
being an unknown device... so, maybe that was it... <shrug>

Vista stayed activated. Neat-o.
