Frogg toggs and some Oxford waterproof gloves. I just shake the water off my gear and give my helmet a wipe down with a microfibre cloth. Socks get a little bit wet around the top of the ankle, but I'm working on getting a pair of gore-tex boots. New bikes and babies are expensive lol

Frogg toggs is what I've been using for the past 2 years... best rain gear ever. :)
 
I have a top-case, so if there is a threat of rain I always carry my rain pants and waterproof inner shell with me. I have ridden in very heavy downpours for extended periods in my gear without my street clothes getting wet. So I can swear by all of the following for wet weather commuting:

Lighter Jacket: Rev'it Tornado mesh w/ zip-in waterproof shell - shell is insulated so can get warm in mid-summer
Heavier Jacket: Joe Rocket leather w/ nylon back
Rain Pants: Scott Ergonomic TP Rain (backup is Frog Togz which are great too)
Gloves: BMW Summer Pro Gore Tex
Boots (shoes): TCX X-Street - look like distressed leather high-tops but are protected and waterproof - have worn them all year around
