> and stick it in a closet

went down that route years and years ago and... it heats up the closet.

Actually, (though not a server) I remember one place I lived, I just put my monitor, keyboard and mouse in the bedroom at a nice desk. Then I ran the cables through the wall to the computer in the next room where it could be loud and cool. (quiet, fast, cool: pick two)

Haha when I was young and didn't know better i splurged on a dual socket AMD desktop. Athlon 1600M it was, I think.

Ended up physically removing a CPU because the noise and heat was... not... worth... it.
