Of the software on your list, i've only used bittorrent, but if they're
standard Linux apps, i can vouch for the QNAP TS-219P and the HP
ProLiant Microserver as good options.  The former is a very small, quiet
2-bay NAS - on mine i wiped the factory firmware on and installed Debian
squeeze.  It's ARM-based, so its CPU power is not great, but it does the
job.  The latter is an x86-64-compatible server with 4 SATA bays and 1
DVD-ROM bay.  It has a dual-core AMD CPU and so packs a pretty good
punch.  It's slightly larger and slightly louder than the QNAP, but is
much cheaper, more powerful, and more expandable.
