Not so easy for lowly musician types as it might be for more IT
literate folks. There is a lot of work to get the kernel on another
box and to make your local machine find it.
That said I wouldn't trust my network to so audio over a wireless
connection to an NFS drive. I'd still opt for the 1394/USB drive in a
box routine and just place it in a closet much like Jan did.

Boot from a floppy or CD which is then unused
after the system is up
and running. Should be quite possible and 0db when you are up and
running.
If I had other forms of noise under as much control as you do then I'd
use a 1394 drive for all my local hard drive requirements and place it
in another room or a closet using a longer 1394 cable. I'd personalyl
prefer that to any water cooled setup but to each his own.
Maybe you can boot from a USB drive these days? Will BIOS on newer
systems allow that?
I like my Mac Mini as I can boot it from an external 1394 drive..
Boot from the network and record to an NFS mount.
