Well, this might be heresy, but at that size, consider a Raspberry Pi running 
Raspian (Debian (sorta) recompiled for its CPU -- questions are accepted on 
this list). 

I'm on a T1, and I've been running them as Internet servers for almost a decade 
(replaced a genuine server). I suspect you could do RAID with a couple USB 
drives, and you could get the Ethernet ports you're looking for with a 4-hole 
switch.

I use a 3+ because I want to give the 4 a couple years to get its hardware and 
software debugged. The disadvantage of the 3+ is the 100M Ethernet speed (the 4 
claims 1G, but I doubt it). Check the speed of your 'Net connection. 100M is 
plenty fast for most installations.

Keep a spare on hand, ready to replace the server when #1 dies. But I've been 
using them for years, on a good UPS, with no probs at all.
