Modem: Go with external. You can rest assured they are not WinModems and will work under Linux. My USRobotics 56k external modem worked great up until I got DSL. :)
Sound Card: I've only used a Creative AWE64 Gold card. It has worked almost flawlessly using the Sound Blaster driver. Video Card: Matrox makes some decent cards that are well-supported under Linux. I've also used ATI cards, but I've had some troubles with them under Linux. They all worked eventually, but it took some work to get there.
