WOW, these are very personal questions. Mostly you need to really ask yourself what will do the job for you...
Do you plan on keeping your music on the external HDD or are you planning on getting a large enough HDD in the PC to move your library onboard? Do you run SBS plugins, the more you run the slower the server. If you're planning on using it for work, surfing and email along with hosting your SBS is the small netbook screen really going to do the job for you? Most laptops today run fairly quiet so I don't see the big concern there. My own opinion is to lean towards overkill, a minimum of a dual core 2.0 GHz, HDD at least 7200 RPM and plenty of room for growth, 4GB memory and 64 bit Windows. You'll notice the difference when it comes to maintenance tasks like rescanning your music, browsing the library from the webUI. Generally a snappier system.
