Probably a bit OTT for that. 1 server will happily do all of that, and like I said, you could get a decent server ready to go for

Im trying to understand whats the need for a server. Wont a normal computer do what you need. Is it much faster, more powerful, or do you need massive storage??

How are you thinking you might overload it? A file\web server will happily run from floppy on a 486. A PIII would be more than adequate for a decent specced file server.
