I've never _BOUGHT_ a complete computer in my life (except my Kaypro

Seriously, For the basic stuff, as long as you stay away from
winmodems and winprinters you're pretty much safe. If you're looking
for things like scanners and dvd burners, do some research on
supported models first - support for some of the more esoteric
peripherals is still a little spotty.
