Well, like I was saying, those Shuttle cases already have a motherboard installed. So, you'd just need a processor, hard drive, some memory, a video card, dvd drive, and whatever else you want - sound, ethernet, etc...
If you get a regular case, chances are you'll need to buy a motherboard as well.
It's not too difficult to install the stuff, since most of it can only go in one way, plus they'll have manual - it's really not as intimidating as it looks, and no you don't need to solder anything. :)
As for software, all you need is to get a Windows XP CD (if that's what you want to run). There's really no other software you need. Windows will usually/sometimes/once in a while/rarely recognize your hardware, but in the case it doesn't, your motherboard, video card, or whatever else will come with a CD.
