        This was (close to) my gut reaction.  If all you want it the
learning experience, any machine made in the last 10 (15?) years
that can install Windows can probably install FreeBSD.
        If/when you get past that and want (e,g,) a:

        high performance gaming box
        file server
        router/firewall
        high availability web server

        ... now we're talking about specific hardware.
