TS140 is Perfect thanks for the lead. Amazon has it for very cheap. I also found the TS440 model for an even greater price.
$400 From $550 - Lenovo ThinkServer TS140 70A4001LUX 5U Tower Server (3.2 GHz Intel Xeon E3-1225 v3 Processor, 4 GB ECC RAM, No HDD, DVD-ROM, No OS) Black
$370 !! From $820 - Lenovo ThinkServer TS440 70AQ0009UX Xeon E3-1225V3 3.2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, SATA Hard Drive- (Four bays for raid config)

Not bad at all!
Also, I was just learning about FreeNAS which I can install an run the PLEX plugin. Does anyone recommend otherwise?
What I ended up doing is set up NetDrive.. It kind of does the same thing, except you still need a Plex server to play the media on your Google Drive... You'll also need a decently fast internet connection to upload, and also download/stream the media from your google drive.. I have fios and an unlimited storage account through my old college.. It's awesome.
Unfortunately, I realized AFTER I bought a plex lifetime subscription that they were no longer doing the plex cloud thing.. Oh well, I've been using plex for years and don't mind giving them that money..

I have 6TB of content to share, all TV Series, and Movies, Some 3D Movies (all SBS), and a fair bit of kids content. I am a lifetime PleX member, so Sync is an option I can enable. I do ask that people consider donating. All cash goes directly back into the server. I take requests and sync for donation.

At this time Im in the process of moving from Plex to EMBY. If you would like an invite. Please make an account and see the list of hardware that EMBY is on.
https://emby.media/ is where to go to make an account. Please send me your username if you want me to add you
You actually sent a friend request. https://plex.tv/servers while logged in is where you send a share. I knew what you meant to do, so will hold out to see how content/speeds look for final decision. There is one that advertised 24/7 but has been offline for 5 hours now, so perhaps a spot will open after all. Only interested in 24/7, albeit, I know that we dont all run our servers from a hosting center with multiple failover and UPS backed redundant power supplies in our homes (sure would be nice though!).
