RE: server specs
External for a file server? I suggest you think again, although I've been wrong before. Personally for a web server I'd be using Linux, no question about it (I have experience with Gentoo & Ubuntu). For a file server you can still use Linux to get an ultra stable server (and virus free too) by using samba, but in my experiences samba can be a little bit tricky. I'd still put samba ahead of windows because windows costs money, requires an anti virus which costs money, and wont be as stable in terms of uptime.
