I Recently bought a quad core (2.66ghz) running windows vista home premium, 3gb of ram and a sizeable hard drive (it's big. i can't remeber how big) as well as nvidia 8800. i also have two wired desktop computers and a wireless desktop and laptop all running XP SP1.

Basically I want to wire these computers all into the new one, and connect it to the internet for better security, as well as use it's hard drive as a network drive, and allocate all that lovely processing power to the older junkers, while being able to use the newer computer as a debug/admin station, but still be able to return it to a normal state later on. I also am currently connecting an xbox 360 through my router, but i don't foresee that as a problem.
