This is exactly my setup. I build a new desktop from scrath every 5-7 years (upgrading incrementally in between) and my last desktop is now my server. Added 5 pairs of 10tb drives using zfs and the thing is so reliable I sometimes forget I'm hosting it at home. I have it connected to a small UPS due to the occasional random brown-out in my neighborhood. The server only runs on the UPS for about 15 minutes, but during the rare substantial power outage, that's enough for me to power it down gently. I also have a little desktop Lenovo PC I found cheap (used) at microcenter that I use as my primary zwave hub with a custom MQTT/JS based home automation script. This replaced a Raspberry Pi, which I loved, but after losing the storage a couple times, I no longer rely upon as a primary server
