If you continue to use the PC to run PMS, you don't need a QNAP with a powerful processor in it. You can get a more cost effective 4 bay NAS instead (saving your money for drives).
Buffalo, Seagate, several alternatives are available:

wholey crap man you got a lot of TVs for an apartment
personally i would say screw giving access to your friends.. unless they were sharing the apartment with you and then charge them $5 a month HA! .. Its really not worth the hassle of opening your home network and devices to the internet just so your friends think you're cool .. have them stop by and bring a pizza..
but for you I would suggest you start looking into a NAS that has larger storage than slinging external drives on a device or installing them internally in a pc case....
NAS servers often run an os that can support Plex or other server software.. or you can just access the files directly from within kodi or your other device / computer and play them..
I was very lucky to pickup a Netgear ReadyNas 104 its their lowest end and runs a Netgear flavor of linux .. it has a bunch of Apps ready to install.. pretty sure you can add almost anything else because it also offers web and php . so you could stream from HTTP or file direct or from a server software specifically for htpcs
Unfortunately I just checked .. Amazon isn't selling them anymore.. third party yes but they are 3x what I paid...

I got it early this year you can see what the prices were like
http://camelcamelcamel.com/NETGEAR-ReadyNAS-Attached-Diskless-RN10400-100NAS/product/B00BNI4CVG
so if you get one thats the price you should pay not $450.. I think I paid just under $200 and then I bought some 5TB external Segates for $109 each and poped out the drives and stuck them in the ReadyNas....
The thing about ReadyNas is their version of RAID allows you to expand it.. so you can start with one drive or 2 drives and add another and it will just bring it into the array and rebuild the whole thing and it will take like 3 days to rebuild but you shouldn't lose anything.. READ THEIR SUPPORT FORMS PLEASE... up to 4 drives and if you put in 5tb today you can later pop one out put in a 8TB drive let it rebuild .. pop in another 8TB drive .. let it rebuild and so on to upgrade your drives capacity...
So look at NAS servers like that and see which ones also support server software like you want for your HTPC
and really screw your friends .. you end up getting busted for running servers off your home computer or something and they cancel your broadband account..
The one I bought has gone up, but this is simlar:

and netgear is a better brand anyway.
ok thanks for all the help. Would I be better off with something like this?
