onebuck, what you are suggesting seems like it would take a reasonably large amount of time and a lot of learning in the field of electronics. As i said, i am really interested in that, and i will keep it an option, but right now i am mainly occupied with learning linux and basics of security and networking. Still, thanks =)
It occured to me that the computer could be used as a router, with some tweaking. I was actually researching this several months ago and as far as i remember there are several distros designed specifically for this. I would just have to connect two network cards (and optionally a wireless AP) to it and obtain the info from my ISP. Do you have any experience with something like that by any chance?

If your interest is there, you will need to start somewhere. Putting it off will not make things easier. Take baby steps! You will be surprised how quickly things get interesting. Sure a challenge but that too can be over come.
Good luck!
