I had some problems with certain BDI versions working with Dell 
Optiplex systems with on-board video, but usually could get them 
to work with a significant amount of tweaking.  I have not had 
problems with the EMC2 / ubuntu kernel-based systems.  I have 
been using off-lease Dell Optiplex desktop systems for some time 
with great results.  An 800 MHz Pentium III with 256 MB of 
memory is a great system for EMC2.  I have also been put onto 
the Gateway Profile 3 computer by Stuart Stevenson.  It is 
basically a laptop with a separate keyboard and a stand, 
slightly thicker than just an LCD monitor!  He even located a 
touch screen unit that works with it!
