I asked a similar question some time ago. You can find good hardware -
all supported well. But you will ever have trouble with the graphics
adapter. I tried ati a well as nvidia and was never convinced.

Where is the fully open source graphic card driver??

You mean radeon and nv? These are fully open sourced drivers and in the
kernel. Or perhaps you mean drivers with 3D support for Xgl/compiz :-) in
which case I think you can direct your query to www.ati.com and
www.nvidia.com

My Dell D820 Intel 915i driver works fine with new Compiz-Fusion.

Intel driver is fully open source? I think.
