If you just want a machine to use at home, there's no need for an actual 'server' as such - just build a normal PC with lots of disk space, maybe RAID 1 or 5, and perhaps a video card with HDMI-out and a blu-ray drive if you want it to also act as a HTPC

Firstly,Thank-you for the reply.

I would like to build a home server as my mother,sister and me all have our own individual computers and i thought it would be great way for us all to upload and share files with ease.

I just need to ask you one more thing,
I was thinking of seting up RAID 1 on my pc because i am sick an tired of HDD dying on me,but i was thinking,if both of the HDD's are on and spinning,how will the back-up be any more reliable when it's uptime has been the same as the second HDD?

Thank-you!
