Pars? Build a low power PC and you're there.  Stick more HDD's in it, connect it to your router, boom.  Now you just need to decide what OS.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Should I not have any SSD's in it?  Obviously I know they aren't necessary but helpful?  And what OS would you recommend?

What are you using it for? A home server is rather non-specific to the task that you actually want it to do.

Backup/storage for a ton of data that I can access from multiple devices.

FreeNAS will work great for that.
