welcome to the OC3D forums.

I've moved to your post to open forum to have others lend their advices instead
of buried into another member thread. it'll get more eyes to help you out.
again welcome to the OC3D forums.

Welcome to OC3D. Not a server guy, so begging off for somebody that knows their stuff.

What do you plan on doing with that Server? If all you're doing is pushing files around, a NAS might be a better option.

Pre-Built Examples

Synology
Seagate

Self-Build OS Examples
nas4free (Fork of freenas.)
freenas

If you need something more robust, more information on what you're planning is needed.
