Use a linux box, or multiples of them. Use lvm to bind partitions together, allowing you to do all sorts of really neat stuff with adding space dynamically, and adding more space to a RAID array without loosing what is already on it. Doubt you'd need that much - maybe a TB locally, and a good way to archive off files to DVD or tape (1 to keep locally, 2 to put in 2 different off site locations, like 2 different bank boxes at 2 different banks) on a semi-automated basis.

Oh, and you can run Linux on your mac if you want, but I'd go with cheap AMD based hardware.
