I'm looking for some hardware recommendations for my next desktop.<br>
<br>
I know that just about everything works under linux these days, and<br>
I'm maybe looking to spend about $1800-2000 for a nice desktop.<br>
<br>
What's your setup? I'm not a gamer, and don't need anything too<br>
crazy, but, I'd like something nice for compiz/fusion eye candy.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>I've been curious about Gigabytes Ultra Durable 2 motherboards. Does anyone know:<br><br>1. Are they compatible with Linux?<br>2. Can we really expect longer life and better performance?<br><br>
