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,

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?
