Hardware for new Linux installs?

I can build Linux systems with your choice of distribution. I build 
systems using mainly Asus motherboards and AMD processors, though I've 
found Gigabyte motherboards to be reliable as well. The hardware specs 
are negotiable, and I can build your system for a competative, and 
usually lowest price. If you are reusing a hard disk, it will take a 
sizeable portion off your price, since the hard drive can be one of the 
most costly parts of a computer. As for specs, I generally recommend a 
quad-core processor with 4GB of DDR3 ram in a minimal system, but adding 
another 4GB and using an 8-core processor is surprisingly inexpensive. 
My favorite distribution is Arch, because it gives you the flexibility 
of Gentoo without having to build everything from source, and if you 
like to package software, nothing beats the AUR, where you can store 
your own package build files, which are simple Bash scripts, in a 
searchable database, complete with dependency resolution, where other 
users can easily find them. Feel free to contact me off-list if you are 
interested in discussing the details and pricing for your next Linux 
computer.
