Looks like the 8600 and 9100 only do built in (thats progress). So will pay the extra for the a/b/g buildin.
Saw the netgear one with

only supports one printer - hmm

This would plug into a non print server one and cover both printers though.

So this old machine is mearly going to be used for ISND and file server for your new laptop and xphoem box, oh and to back them up.. FAT32 does have issues with larger drives depends what size you want ( bios and chipset need to support 48 bit adressing to break the 137 gig barrier)..also i imagine as its an old 333 celeron that it wont be very fast for a file server as the speed of the drive wont be able to run to its max potential as it will probably be using an older UDMA standard, so bear that in mind. anyway .. you would need a silent hard drive for your new pc check out the samsung spinpoint series.
laptop - depends what u want i would go for a centrino you wont need super power to do what u listed. cant recomend one id go read some reviews

How would you do it differently, just so I can consder my options.
I'll find out about the BIOS / Chipset tonight. It's a Gateway machine, but thats about as much use as saying its a red car.
Speedwise as this is more for backup, sharing the iTunes DB etc as long as it runs at a speed fast enough to keep up with the wireless then it should not be a problem.
Disk intensive / graphics intensive stuff will be kept on the main PCs RAID0.
Centrino is seems to be.
