That should be more than enough. It is better if you have a motherboard that lets you boot off USB, as otherwise you loose an IDE channel, you need to check that in your BIOS.

It's worth a try. It takes about 30 mins to set up freeNAS and test is all out. I'm going to be using it for a similar thing in the future, at the moment it's just for regular backups.
