Recommendation for a 'server' for a 3 computer workgroup

I'm building a network for a small business with 3 computer users, all using a shared quickbooks 2016 folder.  The desktops are going to be optiplex 3040 computers.

I am thinking to keep things simple that I'll make a workgroup with a win 7 machine hosting the quickbooks file and some very rudimentary file sharing for simple  / small word docs.

Any advice on that server thinking?  And for something running win 7 and I'd like some sort of raid 1 (software? Hardware?).

What dell computer would you suggest? I'm not seeing any talk in precision or optiplex about raid.  And on the servers they have raid, but likely some win 7 incompatibilities?
