Everything looks cool to me, although why not just use the IIS ftp, since
you are using it for the web server? One less thing to go wrong...
Make sure you kill all the default security holes for him (frontpage,
+.htr...), or he will call in a panic one day.
512 Megs is probably overkill too. Stick 256 of it in your machine where it
will do some good. Imail may also be overkill, unless he is planning on
making this his email server, again IIS has it's own built in SMTP server.
Last but certainly not least...charge him for support. :-)
