Oh, and the HP Microserver is loved by people here... that's good for a NAS too.
Though it tends not to be used for a Plex server, as the default CPUs (Celerons) are great for NAS but really kinda crappy for transcoding.
You won't notice it when you're just viewing a single video stream, but as soon as you get to "multiple 1080p streams" it will struggle.
This is pretty much why splitting the NAS from the Plex server makes sense... each thing wants different specs. NAS requires nothing but great disk and power management and an enclosure, whereas the media server is all CPU and a bit of RAM and who cares about disk and power so much.
