Dell XPS 8300 and Linux Compatibility

Hi, 

I've been offered a Dell 'XPS 8300' Desktop at work to replace my faithful but limited Optiplex. I need to know if the hardware is supported by Linux.

I've checked places like the Ubuntu Hardware Certification site and the Dell Linux wiki, but the XPS 8300 seems too new to be mentioned on either of those sites. I can't risk ordering the system until I know for sure that I can run Linux on it.

- Has anyone had any success installing any distro on a 'XPS 8300' system? 

- Could anyone suggest some obvious potential problems with running Linux on this system? 

Thanks loads for any help!
