Keep in mind thst thise things are LOUD and they get LIKE REALLY REALLY HOT.
Cooling is only half a problem in server world because it's assumed that you're going to run servers in a climate-controlled room.
Also, their power draw is not negligible, especially under load.
These are the factors that you should really keep in mind, when evaluating with respect to your specific situation.
For example, elextric power is fairly cheap in the us but quite expensive in Europe. Your neighbours might have something to say if you live in an apartment and have server grade fans running 24/7 (*).
If after all considerations you still want to do that, /r/homedatacenter is full of porn you might enjoy.
(*): I know you're currently not thinking about leaving the server on 24/7... but you'll be tempted :)
