   I looked up OpenMediaVault, and it kinda looks like it is an Ubuntu   
   spin optimized for media serving.   
      
   In my own case, I tend to just run a Fedora box, and let it serve media   
   with Samba. And for that I use an (older, hence cheap) desktop tower. I   
   don't quite see why one would buy a second box and allow that to only   
   run file service. But if you did, what is a good hardware package to run   
   it on?
