Hi,

I'm wanting to build myself a new desktop PC for home shortly as my
current
one is getting long in the tooth (Athlon +XP 2600!)

Wha? That's slow? (I have an XP 2400 and an XP 2600 at home.)



I was wondering if anyone knows of a hardware review site that
specifically
looks at hardware from a Linux users point of view?

I doubt it. Though you could try one of the hardware forums on
linuxquestions.org



Am thinking Intel CPU and chipset with nVidia graphics although my
current
nForce chipset board has never been that stable under Linux.

Using the binary drivers with my Quadro FX is very nice. I've got no
issues.
