I was looking to build a desktop to learn FreeBSD and was wondering if there
is a list of parts to build one or to just look at the hardware
comparability list? I just don't want to order wrong parts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If don't want to make the full commitment to building a desktop, a good way to learn about FreeBSD is to install within a virtual machine. Either VMWare or VirtualBox will serve you well.

Best regards,

James
