Don't worry about CPU, you can get a cheap AMD or Celery for peanuts and they will work great.

NICS - The netgear cards are cheap and work well. They even supply their own drivers... just remember to copy the supplied 'tulip.c' file into your source tree before compiling the kernel. (310TX - 100/10Mbps)

Modem - avoid WinModems or any modem that says 'Made for Window95'. These are modems without all the hardware functionality, and software drivers (available only on Windows) are required.

Graphics - Can't go wrong with a millenium for X-compatibility.

HD - anything.

Any specific periphirals you were looking at?
