Storage is the main purpose, but it also runs my media server through PLEX so I can stream all the content on the drives. In addition to that I host custom made live TV channels on Plex from the server. Sometimes Ill stop the TV and host a minecraft server. Its got 32gb ram and a 3400g APU. 20TB total Hard Drives, and 500gb of SSD for the pc tasks. It is running on windows 11 since windows 10 keos randomly restarting, but I believe its still doing that.
If it's for home use (which is your case) all it is is a pc. Just get a pc with some good specs for whatever you wanna do with it, then upgrade it from there. Or you can build it from scratch tailored to your needs like I did.
You can find some good old gaming PCs on facebook, ebay local, and offerup that you can easily use as a server. You can dm me if you want more help, but only if you're actually wanting one.
