You can also get away with slower hardware, right now I'm running my whole
studio off my pIII 833 laptop machine with the quattro interface via
usb. I don't do much with jack and softsynths (except composing in
csound), mostly what I'm doing is using linux to develop samples, then I
load then into my asrx pro and use rosegarden4 to sequence and sweep to
record and edit.

get monitors that accept SPDIF, but your choice will be limited.
If you get decent active monitors that take balanced analogue you wont
have any noise problems.
Sorry for being a complete newbie, but "active" monitors? What
does "active" mean in this context?
Active means that the amplifiers are in the monitor chasis, so you run a
line level balanced signal to a socket on the back and from then on the
signal paths are all short.
