Put my old PC in a 4U server case and have it in a rack (minus the GPU)... I also added a ton of RAM early last year (thank god). I'm probably wasting electricity but it's fine.. I can spin up anything and everything without issues which is nice compared to my old NUC and laptop servers that would crash frequently.
