Anything thats "always on but hardly in use" like a homeserver should use as little energy as possible. Rule of thumb, if it needs active cooling or a big radiator your wasting energy. Normally im not the kind of guy who cares what you do with your money, but its just so horribly inefficent that it makes me cringe and try to appeal to reason. Its ... wrong. Twisted. Evil.
