I have tried nch axon for some time, it's very nice but very basic compared to freepbx. Also using nch axon I had problems registering voip phones from other locations as an extension.
The same might apply when running your own server at home. the pentium 4 you have should be enough to run linux and freepbx.

What you might need to configure is your router to open ports so outside extensions can login to the system.
Also it would be best to have a router using qos as otherwise when your freepbx is on the same internet connection and you start downloading some stuff, voice could be delayed.

You don't really need the VM ware, only if you want to run it under windows. Just install the linux image.

NCh does also have a nice piece of software skype2sip. Have skype running on your windows pc and incoming skype calls will be rerouted to your nch axon server. Using preset numbers in skype you can also dial skype numbers using a sip phone.

I have also seen some people that rent their on vserver for a few dollars per month, install linux and install freepbxes and asterisk on them. But this does require some knowledge of linux and it's really do it yourself and find out yourself.
