[?] NAS vs. Server
#2
I would go the server route. For just file serving and backup, get any G4 that supports gigabit (Digital Audio 466 or Dual 450 or higher), install an ACard AEC-6880M RAID card (suports RAID 1 Mirror), then attach your drives to it. Mirrored performance off the card equals standard single drive setups and twice as fast as OSX's software RAID. Set the whole thing up with a Gigabit switch and connect remotely with Apple Remote Desktop and ditch the display altogether. This is how mine is set up.
