Hi Shawn,
There are currently no desktop computers that work with Libreboot and a
completely free OS, only laptop computers. However, you could order a
Libreboot T60 laptop from Gluglug (http://shop.gluglug.org.uk) plus a
docking station (Advanced mini dock) from, e.g., Ebay. Then you can
connect an external screen (over DVI), mouse and keyboard and so use it
just like a desktop computer. Gluglug ship their machines with Libreboot
and GNU+Linux pre-installed.
Good luck!
Albin
PS. Libreboot is not a BIOS but a BIOS or EFI *replacement*. Also, Linux
is just a kernel and you probably mean the GNU operating system. See

I would like to have a desktop PC with a secure bios to load my own
Linux OS onto. Age does not matter so much to me as security. Can
anyone recommend the absolute easiest way for me to achieve this, for
a person limited technical knowledge? I have no idea what model
desktop I can buy or even how to flash the bios with Libreboot.
Looking at mobo compatibility doesn't help as I don't know what PC's
they are built into. I also don't know how to compile and 'build' a
payload as such. I'll probably have to have someone do this for me.
Surprised that there are not yet any commercially available desktop
PC's with a secure bios that can run Linux.
