I like Intel's network adapters alot, I've never had a single issue out of the gigabit adapter I use (Intel Pro/1000 MT PWLA8490MT)
I hear 3coms are good. Try this page http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/hardware.html
As far as SATA drives if its size you are going for then WD has a fairly decent SATA drive for a good price, but in my book the best SATA drive is the Raptor by WD..even if its only 74Gb it still has to be the fastest SATA drive out.. imo :)
The raptors are a bit over priced for backup servers IMO, but they outperform several scsi drives that are more expensive. Try the leaderboard at storagereview.com
