help! finding stable setup

I would like to try BSD. But I want to start with something [fully] installed image with binaries that's already properly ported too. Who has a system configuration (i.e. SCSI drive on x hardware) and downloadable image that's "KNOWN GOOD HW / IMAGE / SETUP" that compiles, has a desktop, web (maybe webtv!}, so I can start from a firm starting point (with backup when I crash it) to learn from something that is already working?

What I mean is I don't want to get the wrong hardware and install wrong and spend weeks trying to hack it into what someone else already has :)

Any advice people can leave here on the forum?
 
I forgot a detail you don't really need: the boot loader usually has to tell a processor how to access memory beyond 64k on a PC - though on Spark / Solaris you can bootstrap right off the BIOS easy.

As already suggested PCBSD is probably what you are searching for. Have a look also at GhostBSD, that is another desktop flavor.
