Missives from the 6th Floor

Shortest path to least hassle is running a box in a closet at home. I've done the home server since '99 and for various reasons, had hosting accounts since 2006. The hosting accounts are going away this year -- they have been unreliable and annoying to deal with. I spend more time dealing with them than I do keeping marvin up to date. A low end mini-ATX will run cool, consume little power, and will happily run whatever software you want however you want to run it.
