No, you didn't, but we had to educate customers in 1990s that it was a High Availability solution rather than a backup.

I've built decent "servers" using cheap (or thrown out) tower PCs. You only need a "real" server box if you want hot swap HDD trays and Dual hot swap PSUs (swap failed one while running), which needs two separate UPSes! Oh, and serving 100s to 1000s of users rather than a family.

Started with NT Server 3.5, then by 2002 switched to Cent OS (basically Red hat), then Debian and now Mint (sort of Debian/Ubuntu). Last Windows server (in parallel with a Linux one for a few years) was Win2000 Server, Server 2003 was too bloated for the old HW.
