Unix or Linux? If linux, should be fairly easy (for someone familiar with linux) to set up samba. Sounce like you already have something in place.
I guess the real question is why are you storing the files on the unix/linux box? Do you not have enough storage to store them locally? What we've done in a distributed scenario is use windows DFS with FRS to keep the files locally, but synchronize them with other pcs. It works pretty well. If you have enough disk space to store the files locally, you can do period syncs with the *nix server using rsync. The best solution of course would be to go with one flavor for everything, either all windows or all *nix. With redhat you can use something like GFS (although I've never used it myself) to keep the data local, but up to date with the other pcs, and with windows you can use DFS.
