I've been through my running rackmount enterprise gear at home period and the result for me was that the power usage and noise issues you end up with (especially with slightly older gear) aren't worth it. I am currently using a Dell T320 (with 96gb ram) as my home server which I am very happy with. Plenty of space for storage, relatively quiet and not too power hungry as these things go. I am not doing anything really CPU intensive. I am running Proxmox on it with a dozen or so services running in Debian containers, a couple of lightly loaded Linux VM's and a couple of Windows VM's.

The DELL PowerEdge T710 looks more promising I can end up with 6 times the
CPU, and 144GB of RAM (which will sort memory issues -- I hope they don't
still do that full memory check by default on boot) for ~£700 (or less if I
decide 144GB is excessive). But that is across 2 CPUs/12 cores, so I suspect
I'd keep it mostly busy, but the actual speed up would be less than 6 times. I
also end up with 11 empty disk bays or something insane, and lose a chunk of
office space...
