I was thinking about this on the way home. One non-hardware-related issue you might want to look into before you tackle this project: Make sure that your ISP will let you host an HTTP server on your connection. Many (like mine -- Cox Communications) block outbound traffic on port 80, which is the TCP port where all of the Web stuff happens. If this is the case for you, then your task become considerably more complicated -- and much less fun.
Same goes for an e-mail server. Many ISPs block the ports used for SMTP, POP3, and IMAP. Which is a big ol' bummer for us DIY types.
Just food for thought before you take the plunge...
