Just out of curiousity, would not an older server like this: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=DL145-5R (~$75 + shipping) or http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=DL360-6R&cat=SYS (~$190 + shipping)
be a reasonable option? Unless you're looking to suck every last bit of speed or energy savings out the machine, I would think bumping the memory up on one of these, adding one or more eSATA or SAS interfaces and an external drive rack would result in an exceptional "home" server with several TB of storage, decent speed, still costing less than $1K usd....
