Been there, done that. Today it's obvious that your home server should be one place only; in the Amazon cloud, running as individual lambdas and perhaps some m4.large EC2 instances. Jokes aside, I ran a DL160 server at home for a couple of years until the motherboard started acting up. The fans would all go to 100%, and then back down again, then remain at 100% for a while. Then there were intermittent crashes. The only solution was to replace the entire motherboard. At this point I stopped looking and replaced the whole darn thing with an old headless Macbook Pro running Linux. For my purposes it is fine, and I haven't looked back. The power savings are great too.
