You would probably have to check but to be honest most of the stuff
will work. You won't have any problems with CPU or RAM. Some
motherboards are better under Linux than others. And a rule that
nVidia based cards are OK, ATI ones are awful in Linux.

The staff at web systems don't know Linux afaik.
