Well, if you are looking at upgrading hardware, have a look at toms hardware
as he has many good articles,

If you are looking for hardware that is Linux compatible, look here,

Information on how to set up a network can be found here,

Information on retail shops in Japan are,

http://www.plathome.co.jp/
http://www.sofmap.com/shop/default.asp
http://www.kakaku.com/

a good one in the States (just for comparison) is

http://www.pricewatch.com/

*Please note that this isn't a comprehensive list. 

In general, it's best to do some research before you post a question. Expecting
others to understand your needs, check prices, and basically layout exactly
what you need to do in a timely manner is unrealistic. 

Hope this helps,
