Short answer yes.
Longer answer... it depends.
Database servers need RAM, be prepared to add more.
File servers benefit from RAM and a newer disk (or something you can rely upon).
You CAN load Samba for file services and probably MySQL with a tiny bit of data. Adding users will create load that may reduce performance. RAM is your key, which is dirt cheap for such a critter.
Buy a few and canibalize one to keep the others running.
