The problem I found with trying to host everything off my desktop was that anytime I need to reboot for an update, crash, software install, etc., it took everyone else offline. And kind of hardware upgrades, and nobody else has media for the whole time that's happening. Hardware crash, Windows reinstall... same problem, just for a longer time. AND having to recreate all the users and shares afterward.

Having a separate NAS box keeps all that shared stuff self-contained, and with it, I can backup and export all the settings for easy re-import in case of a major failure. That shit just ain't easy OR reliable with Windows.
