3Ware 3w9500-4LP with four Hitachi 1 TByte drives
which will give you 2 TByte in Raid-1

No problem, I run a µITX with a 3w9500-16 and sixteen 1 TByte HDD's
as Backup-Server with Raid-5... It consum only 60-140 Watt It depends
on the Disk-Access.

Yes definitivly but be carefull with the Power-Supply. (>=120 Watt)

It depends HOW MANY concurent connections it will have.
I have 2 x 256 MByte with a Sempron 2200+ which is definitivly overkill.

If you have only ONE PCI-Slot you need to stick with the On-Board LAN.
Maybe you should try to get an ITX with GBit LAN? my µITX has it
using the VIA Chip.

PHP5 and do it yourself :-)

Buy a small APC UPS with 350 to 650 VA for it they are cheap
and will save you many headaches
