External USR Sportster 33.6 Modem. I also have a RiscPC but that does not have Linux set up on it: Strongarm processor 16MB ram 1.2GB HD 8x CD drive Bought 2nd hand to upgrade from my Acorn A5000. I still like the RiscOS operating system (no, I havent't triex the ROX desktop yet) and the RiscPC is regularly used for some games and word proc/spreadsheet/dtp etc work.

Old but works beautifuly under linux including soundfonts and hardware midi. LG CD/RW (currently sold by dixons for 79 quid ! & has handled everything I can throw at it inc. playstation cd's !) Spacewalker pro motherboard with award bios and via chipset which for some wierd reason won't accept any graphics card with a RIVA chipset. Another reason I have to sticj with Ati. Was gonna upgrade the motherboard but got seduced by the cheap cd writer. HP Desket 840C. Immaculate printing under linux. Primascan Colorado 2400u scanner, not working under linux at all, :-< Handspring Visor deluxe 8meg supported with USB and Jpilot with syncmal for avantgo. For what all that cost BTW 18 months ago I could get a setup twice as fast for under a grand ! What progress. And my mates Win XP still runs like a dog sometimes on a Duron 800 with 256 mb ram ;-)
