Depending on which version of FreeBSD you want to run, take a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/hardware-i386.html#AEN33 or http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/hardware-i386.html#AEN65 and look at the man pages linked from those documents for more detailed lists of precisely what models are known to work. Your vendor will be able to tell you what RAID cards they use -- systems by popular suppliers like Dell and Compaq are generally well supported.
