The LXer.com pre-installed Linux hardware vendor database.
I've personally had excellent luck buying "generic" hardware, such as white-box systems and motherboards. All have run Linux perfectly since I first started using it.
One caveat, I have not had a system yet that has this "secure boot" option, so I cannot say that it will be something that can be turned off. Turning it off would be best, because having such a system makes the use of Linux live CDs and DVDs impossible, thus creating a situation where a system cannot be rescued.
