I ended up concluding that it wasn't worth it. The additional trouble
acquiring special hardware isn't worth it for the space saving when space
isn't as a premium in my home. The servers live in a corner of the
basement.
I've been running virtual servers at home for years and have used that to
reduce the number of physical boxes too.
Cheers,
Rob
