You don't need to get any special hardware: just make sure it is on the list of supported hardware.  Rather than investing on, or harvesting hardware, I personally recommend that you test your desire setup on a virtual machine.

You can certainly enjoy an very edifying experience setting this up, but as far as I know smb/nfs are not currently "serving"  options. The good news is that there are dozens of 9p implementations, and there is likely one that will work with your client platform.
