A server is more or less an industrial version of a desktop. Its made to sit there and control a network of other computers. Usually more memory and larger hard drives as well as in the old days servers were the only ones to have a NIC (network) port. Now that everyone and their dog has a NIC for high speed internet its common.
RAID is a collection of two or more independent hard drives that mirror the data on each hard drive. This way when one hard drive goes down or has a problem, the image on the rest of the drives is the same and no data is lost.
I have my house networked. Tivo and other things work on the network as well as have WiFi for taking the laptop around the pool, backyard or garage. Its a sickness...
