1 potato, add rice, add chili, enjoy. Price: like 10$

But seriously, something along the lines of a g3258 build, just something real cheap.

Should i RAID these drives? http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Pipeline-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST3500312CS/dp/B002CMOH26/ref=sr_1_15?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1426480760&sr=1-15&keywords=500gb+hdd(RAID 1)

How about just an external HDD with an ethernet port?  Western Digital makes some, I believe.

For the server? I don't want to use my PC because it'd be using my PC's resources.

You could plug it straight into your router. 

 

Western Digital My Cloud.  

 

I'd tag the Western Digital rep if I remembered his name.  He could tell you more about it if you didn't feel like reading their marketing page.  

 

(I keep editing this post..)  It looks pretty sweet -- it has another USB port on it so you could plug in ANOTHER external drive to expand the storage.  I want one now.   http://smile.amazon.com/Cloud-4TB-Personal-Storage-WDBCTL0040HWT-NESN/dp/B00EVVGAD0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1426481788&sr=8-2&keywords=western+digital+my+cloud

Really though, get the little cubed hash browns, get some rice, get some chili. Cook the rice and hash browns and nuke the chili. Combine in a bowl. Mix it. And eat it. Really fills you up with a single bowl and tastes awesome. I like to combine it with a bit of Lawry's seasoning salt.
