Duncan, what does TOS mean? I would be "serving" behind the router,
so I don't believe the ISP would get upset.
I have all of the hardware for a server, so a NAS would be paying for
stuff I already have...basically, I'm trying to get a NAS on the cheap
(apart for time to set up).

Anthony,
I use a NAS. Over the years, building a dedicated "File Server" always
seemed to be more complicated, and, most always ran foul to my chosen
ISP's TOS.
JMHO.
Best,
Duncan

So, no one here builds their on file servers? Or, are people just
using NAS devices?

I'm thinking of turning this into a file server rather than buying a
NAS. I'm thinking of Windows Server 2008 since I mainly have
Windows 7 running here.
Other than backups, what else can I get such a system to do? Does
Windows Server include all of the necessary software or would I have
to buy something else for streaming, etc. I assume it has a network
backup tool. Would some kind of raid configuration be wise for
this? Pros & Cons?
