I don't know the difference between Mac OS server or client. As far as running this "Server OS" as a client, I don't consider something that has "Chat with your friends" or "make a video call" or "Photo booth" on the desktop really a server OS. Or maybe I'm old school to think the only things you should be doing at a server is managing functionality and security and not sit at it like it's your PC and surf the web, etc.
Matt, what will I need the 2nd HDD for? I have this thing to be able to manage other Mac's, I can leverage my current Windows/SAN storage for everything still yes...or no?
