You will need some way to network these machines first. I'd recommend a simple 4 port switch. To keep things simple, just put Linux onto the old computer. Go back to your vista machine and enable file and printer sharing. Go back to the Linux machine and locate the drive.

As a side note about a similar situation. About 2 years back I had one good high end machine and a very crap laptop. I configured a new wlan and pretty much for about a year, I walked bout the house with the laptop remotely logged into the good computer. All the functionality of a laptop and all the power of top range PC. One or two small hicups but nothing you cant get over. You could have a similar setup.
