Any issues with HP Pavilion a1610n

I'm thinking of buying a new desktop, and was looking into the HP Pavilion a1610n. I plan to install Linux as soon as I get it home, of course.
Does anyone have anything to say about this one, good or bad? Any hardware issues? Linux runs well?

Thanks for any info!

I would say post more info on the box
MB make & chipset
video chipset
audio chipset
NIC chipset
the more info that you can provide on the system the easier it will be to find out if there are any issues

also what Distro you will be installing

I just wanted to report back that I have bought this machine and everything works flawlessly. I am running Debian Etch on it. I had to install the nvidia driver to get the 3d stuff going, but other than that everything (video, audio, networking, CD/DVD burning, USB) has been working "out of the box". The only things I haven't tried yet are the built in card reader and the firewire (because I don't have any devices to plug into them)...
So overall, I am very satisfied. Good on HP.
