I haven't been into computer hardware lately, but I decided to pick up a NAS, and was pleased to learn that they're now just a complete computer - I've started using VMs living on my NAS to do this kind of thing, which is quite nice. Synology's interface is not bad either, but I imagine others have come up with even better ways to use these systems. Obviously a RPi is a way cheaper way to get a lot of the same work done though :)
