Just thought I would like you guys know that a pc using mate of mine has just spent

What exactly is showing the errors? Do you mean the BIOS or the operating system?

If it's the BIOS then you just have to configure it properly. Make sure to disable everything that you dont need in the BIOS (like Parallel Port, seial port, special modem IRQ if it has one). All those things eat up resources and IRQs and disabling them usually prevents lots of hardware conflicts.

I build my own PC. I choose the best hardware for Linux.

AMD: Because of their OSS initiatives.
GeForce: Official Linux driver that kicks ass.
nForce mobo chipset: Official Linux driver that's way cool.

If you're thinking about a soundcard (I'm happy with the integrated nForce soundcard anyway), choose one from Creative. They have Linux drivers.
ATi only tests their Windows drivers, they compile the Mac and Linux drivers with Windows code and without testing them. And even the Windows drivers aren't very good. VIA chipset mobo's don't have an official Linux driver.

Just that you can select if you want 2 GB of RAM instead of the 512 MB of RAM that is standard on a Dell.
