I use a decommissioned tower sever with consumer Windows on it. It offers excellent performance for virtualization and my endless tabs (32gb and 24 CPU cores), supports far more storage than I will ever need, has redundancy and was practically free. It's kind of a DIY solution though, but it can be a cool project if you're intrested in hardware, or if you simply don't have the funds for a decent normal PC and happen to come accross the right kind of server.
