My main box : baradur

Asus P4PE/L mainboard
w/ broadcom LAN & onboard sound
P4 2.53 gHz proc
1GB 2700 333 DDR RAM
Abit Siluro ti4200 GF4 128MB graphics
(1) 40GB 7200 WD HDD (boot / OS drive)
(2) 80GB 7200 8mb cache WD HDD in RAID-0
Promise Fasttrak 2000 PCI RAID card
Sony DRU-500AX DVD/CD burner
Toshiba 16x DVD/CD-ROM
Aver PCI video capture card

All gingerly installed into a CoolerMaster ATC case w/ an Antec TruePower 430W PS.

All hardware works nicely under Linux.
Performance is very nice.
CoolerMaster case keeps everything VERY cool, all aluminum case works very well to wick away heat, could use a better HSF for the proc.

This is basically a multimedia / DVD box that I just happen to run Linux on and do my everyday email / web browsing stuff also. I'm considering building a very small MicroATX box (or even one of those even smaller boxes...PicoATX?) for just linux / web browsing and such.
