For use as a simple home 'file server', I'd totally agree.
Of course a proper server can do so much more than any NAS though and in most larger businesses you'll usually find several of each, all serving different purposes. One of my customers is presently running 16 servers (6 physical and 10 virtual) and 4 large capacity NAS units (for shared storage and backups).
