Here is the spec I've got that I'm happy with....
P133
ASUS TP4XEG with 512K pipe cache 32 EDO
DTC (that's DTC) 3130B NCR scsi ii based controller
Quantum Atlas 4GIG
SB16
Matrox Millenium 4MB (This will require Accelerated X to work)
HP 1533A DDS2 DAT drive
Toshiba 3701B 6.7 CD-ROM drive
Cogent C960 ethernet card.
Nanao T2-17 (sony tube) color monitor. (IMHO The best 17inch on the planet)
This all works happily with freebsd and there's a boot kernel on the
CD to get this load up and running for an install.
