Supermicro (http://www.supermicro.com/) makes some nice and inexpensive servers. You can usually get them cheap on eBay.

Hey Stephen,

I have been running a setup similar to this for over 1 year now. Contact me at my email address and I’ll be happy to give you the specs of what I am running, and some advice on the setup.

Normal advice with hardware: Get as much RAM, CPU and disk as you can afford - as you’re going to want multimedia storage, maybe trade a bit of RAM and CPU for disk.
You want mirrored disks, you really do - possibly an external one for backups too.

You don’t really say what you want to ‘manage’, so that standard answer of a recent popular Linux distro applies.
