The purposes that the server would handle don't really need a constant Internet connection, and even then, a LTE card or USB dongle is "good enough", as with Linux, routing/firewalling functionality is easy to accomplish.
A NAS is definitely on my list of features. Assuming the server is fed directly from the 12 volt side, I can leave it up with a LTE card and have the ability to store files remotely on it, either via SSH/sftp, WebDAV/SSH, or another protocol.
The Intel NUC board looks like a winner. It supports two PCIe cards (one would go for a NIC, one a SATA card, and a USB card for the LTE/3G/4G adapter.)
This is definitely not something I'd consider an enterprise grade server, but it performs a lot of menial tasks that the laptop wouldn't have to, be it a firewall, or another secure location for backups. For most things, a service like Dropbox is good, but there is nothing like packing one's own parachute, and SSD isn't too expensive.
add ram, and vid card period
everything else built into a case.
