Lots of old laptops out there for cheap if not free. Many of them are quiet and low power with the added bonus of having a built in UPS.

  The battery will die within months and you risk a house fire. Other than that yes, laptops hardware makes a good small server. See my comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26298116 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26298116

    Every laptop I've owned with a removable battery worked on wall power without the battery.
