Most people go for this option, but there's definitely something good to be said about the flexibility (and power!) of using a home-built router from a second hand desktop.
On the subject of power one might want to think about the power required to run a complete desktop based router versus the cost of an integrated device. Unless you are looking for a project to tinker with for fun or plan to use the machine for more than just a router I think it's overkill.
I've used wireless since the the first apple airport and would second the recommendation of a dd-wrt based router. A linksys WRT54GL works well enough with the standard firmware and you have plenty of options to tweak with dd-wrt etc.
I'm not sure about Italy, but around here you can get a simple D-link wireless router for USD25. I've used them in several situations and have had no problems.. you can't beat that price.
