Try Ubuntu, you probably wouldn't need additional driver disks to
get it workin' either. CentOS is a server oriented distro, not
a desktop distro. Hardware differences between desktop and server
are almost night and day in many cases. The system you link to
is most definitely a desktop class system.
Or perhaps Fedora, though I'm not much of a fan of the short
support cycle for Fedora(assuming it's still 6 months).
With Ubuntu(and possibly Fedora) you get the added advantage
of tons more packages than what is included with CentOS/RHEL
without having to resort to problematic 3rd party repositories
or crazy yum configurations to try to keep a sane installation
running.
CentOS works great for what it's built for.
