Hardware questions.

I've been gone for 5 months. I came home and discovered that my linux machine will not power up. So, I'm looking at new machines. I've got three candidates, all cheap, but I don't know if there's any known problems with loading/running the latest/greatest version of opensuse.

The make/models are:
HP Pavillion Desktop with an AMD Dual-Core A4-3420 processor.
HP unknown Desktop with an Intel Pentium processor.
Lenovo IdeaCentre H420 with an Intel i3 processor.

Any help would be appreciated.
