will time capsule work with linksys 3000?

I have a modem from the cable company... I have a dell i7 with 8GB ramm, 1.5 TB and two - 2.0 TB drives and a 1 GB video card. I have connected this to a 32 " monitor with 4 HDMI imputs spaces... and it is imput #1. I have a loaded Mac Mini that is going into HMDI #2 with a 2 TB iomega drive attatched to it. I am interested on how I could use this 2 TB time capsule in conjunctions with my excisting linksys router wireless net work... I also have two iphones and two ipads... that already use the Linksys network along with two sony wireless computers. I would like to see if I could set up the Time Capsule to do the back up for the Mac Mini... and allow the iphone, ipads, and other wireless devices connect to it as well by changing the wifi network selction on that particular device... and still have it password protected? Oh... and also access the internet through this device as well? Do I need a dual output modem? Do they make those? BTW... the other two HDMI ports are going to be for an apple TV and a WDHD TV... the lights dim sometimes when I turn it on... I am interested in your thoughts on either how to handle this configuration... or is there a better option and what would be the trade-offs?

Can I use Time Capsule as a storage device as well as backup for my iMac using Time Machine, or can I only use it to back up files with Time Machine?

I'm currently using a WD 500GB Drive, which has a habit of turning itself into a standby state despite preference settings keeping it always on, and I have to restart the drive every time this happens, which is an inconvenience when storing files and no storage device is found when saving. I want to replace the WD with a 2TB Time Capsule and use the Time Capsule as a storage device, as well as a back up device via Time Machine for my iMac.

Can I use another router with the time capsule?

Can I use another router with the time capsule? I really just want to use the time capsule as a wireless external hard drive and wireless printer station. Also do I have to directly connect the time capsule to the modem and/or other router?

Thanks.
