They do support ECC, no problem.

They are available with different CPU configurations from
as Pete said remarkably cheap Celeron D based systems
up to Xeon CPUs.

If you want something that conserves power but still features
8 cores, Supermicro has got a small 8-core Atom based
system:

I run this at home and I am really satisfied with it. ECC too, of course.
Capable of running VMs in bhyve ...

I'd suggest just using FreeNAS if you intend to build a file server.
And of course you can always order a preconfigured FreeNAS
mini from iX Systems.

HTH,
Patrick
