I've been looking at prowheelbuilder.com but haven't pulled the trigger yet. They have SP and Son dynamo hubs and a wide variety of rims (including Velocity and VO for retro types). One item that source seems to be missing is triple butted spokes, but they do have some double butted options. The website has a nice tool to let you "build" your wheels and see the price and weight. Prices seem very good to me - you could build a decent wheelset with an SP dynamo for around $500. Maybe $700 if you went with a Son dynamo.
