How about buying one of these

and tweak it...

I stumbled across this a few months back.. never seriously looked into it as I dont have the need but it sure looks like it would do what you want.
[Edit]
Just had a look at the site again.. go to the sucess stories page and its pretty impressive what people are using it for....
FTP server, file server, email server, automatic backups of other PC's, music streaming, web servers ( MySql/Apache/php )... one even has set one up for his missus so when she plugs in a digi-camera it automatically copies the files and beeps when it is done.
Im tempted to get one just to play around with it !
