I have a dedicated box that could run the server, but I'd prefer to actually play my turn on another box (it's faster, bigger screen). Can I do that?
Someone mentioned running a "background" server. What's the scoop on that?
Thanks for all the help, I'm a total Dominions noob lucky enough to get into a battle with around 8 other noobs (and possibly some not-so-noobs in disguise, which may make things interesting). So I want to make this smooth for everyone

Yes. The "host" doesnt check its serial against the players so you can load it to two machines and let one be host while you play with the other. They did it that way on purpose (very nice of them)
Background is easier on a linux machine. Maybe a mac. For a windows machine just run it normally then drop it to the bar so that you can do other things on that machine.
