To be honest I prefer option 2 to option 1. However I like to separate my Nas and my app server. VM might be enough of a speration, but here are two other options:
3 - A powerful minipc for the apps + a cheaper one for the nas
4 - two powerful enough computers,both having the Nas and the app, for redundancy.
