When it comes to hardware and software requirements, it depends on what you are using this server for. For basic storage of files, you need to pay close attention to the amount of storage you require. Alot of CPU power is not really required, but extra RAM will help. Of course, when it comes to your storage, faster drives will provide a better experience. If you have other software that will be integrating with this server, check with those vendors to see if they will have any specific requirements for the OS, network, etc...
