A rackmount 1U 2-socket server with dual 10Gbe ports fills the bill nicely.

I also have a 36TB 12-drive rack-mount NAS server that holds my media, source code, and documents. I have an Oracle database on a dedicated 6U server, and a VM server with 24 processor cores and a half-terabyte of RAM. All mounted in a rack. Having a bunch of stuff on shelves or on the floor would be a huge waste of space and a hassle to wire and clean and work around.

My electric bill is around $250 a month in the winter, and about $500 a month in the summer when I'm running the AC. The server room pulls about 30-35 amps steady current draw.

And no, I don't host porn. I run a tech consulting company. Same money, without having to split it with a bunch of bimboes.
Server rack at homme, 36TB of storage, penis username... you ain't fooling no one buddy!
