Just to throw an alligator into the discussion, you might consider a Mac Mini. I use all Mac hardware with my K3 and other stuff, and it works well. Besides the usual OSX stuff, you get a BSD Unix box that will also run X-windows. And you can dual boot MS Windows if you have a copy, for those few but vital programs that are only available in Windows. You can even dual boot Linux, although with a Unix box there is less need to do so.
