Windows Backup Destination Choice

Hi,
  I have about 15 Windows 7 PCs to backup on a regular basis using Microsoft Windows Backup program that comes with OS.
  I like to decide whether choose some type of IP/Network based RAID 1 External HD or just setup a PC with several TB HDs in RAID 1 on a RAID controller. I already have a PC available to me.  That said, which method is better?
Several years ago I used Buffalo Linkstation IP based and was disappointed by it. So I am leaning towards a PC with good Raid Controller and Network quality SATA HDs.

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I sounds No one option is superior to the other.
Since I have a computer hardware already for other purposes, I will go ahead and add HDs & RAID controller and use it for Windows backup as well.

Thanks  for your input.
@sglee - Thank you and I was happy to help.
