There are more drives that operate at 10K than just raptor drives. again, I was not talking about raptor drives. Also, WinHomeSrv does have perks:10k raptors are not that fast.
I use 15k SAS or SATA 2 Enterprise 7200 drives (non raptors) in all my servers. No one sells raptors for servers. They are desktop / gamer drives.
I have never used a 10k in a server in recent years (other then 2.5 SAS drives that can't do 15k) But i only buy the larger SAS drives.
He does not need more then 10 rpc connections. He does not need to install any server limited software (sql 2005 or exchange)
It just does not pay to buy server or home server.

Otherwise Microsoft wouldn't have made the product if it was no different than XP.
Also, if you would like a pre-built option, HP offers a well-priced media server, $559 after rebate:
