To store pirated files?

Please read our forum rules, particularly rule 9.

There is no difference between a server and any other computer. Just build a computer with a hard drive big enough to store all your data. Being that you won't be running applications from it, you can use a motherboard with integrated video and it doesn't need an expensive processor.

yup, what glc said. I run an FTP server on my desktop so that I can access my files from anywhere. It's just a regular old PC that i built.

You might want to look into NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices.
