I've been planning to do this, but enterprise hardware seems like it requires a completely different set of knowledge on how to purchase it and maintain it, and especially as a consumer.

It's not quite as trivial of a barrier to entry as consumer desktops, but I suppose that's the point. Still, it would be nice if there was a guide that could help me make good decisions to start.

Also, purpose built data center chassis are designed for high airflow and are thus really quite loud.

Very true. I have a single rack mount server in my HVAC room, and it's still so loud I had to glue soundproofing foam on the nearby walls:)

It’s actually much EASIER in my experience- enterprise gear is made to be easily reparable and most if not all parts can be swapped without tools.

Loud though - most of them run pretty quiet if not doing anything.

Most people who get into home labs spend some time on research and throw some money at gaining an education.

Compute is so cheap second hand.
