To be honest though, it sounds like you guys should be considering a low end file server. Lenovo, Dell, and HP all make a decent box in the $3000 - $5000 range. I know a desktop price is attractive, but the server NIC and RAID controllers should be really important to you.
I certainly understand the benefits of the server, and in the long run, we may incorporate these files into our file server. It isn't in the budget for this year, not even by a long shot.
