but Thats the low end Pegasos machine 
 It is. Only "lower" you could get is April 1 or pre-april (which you imho shouldn't, unless you get it for free / very cheap)

with next to zero problems? 
Well there ARE some (minor) problems. For example PCI TV tuner cards probably won't work well with AGP graphics cards. (Never tried myself)

USB and IDE all works 
Never had any hardware related problems (Of course some non-standard USB devices won't work)

with perhaps the exception of the built-in sound? 
The built-in sound works. BUT if you for example scroll a big window, it may couse corruption in the sound. Newer gfx card drivers made it happen less often. 
With a separate PCI sound card makes it even less noticeable (I heard). But trust me - it's not as bad as it sounds. There's no corruption when you f.ex. watch a movie, listen to music, play games etc. as long as you don't scroll big windows!
