Did you name this Cat5 because you like cats? Instead of naming it "How to create a network"? 
I really like your guide. Very in-depth tutorial.
However, I disagree with some things you said:
Most people don't have that money. One is enough in this setup.
For newbies, a GUI is a really helpful tool to have. Especially when it's on a computer, and not a server. Even if you have a low end one (like an XP box) you could still run elementaryOS (a Ubuntu flavor) with a full GUI.
Also, when you said switch, I think you meant router. Not many homes have actual network switches.

Step 2:
Install linux on the bad/old pc. Any linux is ok i think but dont install gui. It just waste resource.
