Cheap hardware has a better chance of being supported.
If you stick with the name brand stuff, you could piece together a box
that'll work great and work great with FreeBSD. Me, I've got my Micron PC
(which was a pretty good deal when I bought it), and the onboard sound is
AFAIK supported by that comercial Linux sound driver, but nothing else.
The box also came with an AWE64, therefore I'm happy.
