what is the machine's location on your network (LAN\DMZ etc...) what is the machine role, you should ask yourself some questions before approaching hardening, I would not put the same effort on a machine which is located on my LAN as much as I would make sure that DMZ machines are protected

I believe even machines on internal networks should all run local firewalls at the very least. There's always some Windoze user using Outlook and clicking on an email attachment they shouldn't click on...
