I respectfully disagree for one reason and one reason only. The insanelymac forums have guide upon guide for all sorts of hardware configurations. There is a hardware compatibility list that gives you a good starting point for buying compatible hardware. Finally, the use of Boot-132 in conjunction with Chameleon has made setting up a completely flawless 10.5.x install pretty simple compared to what it used to require. Although, you might be right.

It takes time to learn some of the stuff, but for most of the folks on HN I would assume you'd have little trouble getting it working after a little reading and googling.
