I've been thinking about the virtual host idea and have some extra IP's so that might be fun. Traditionally when I renovate one may personal servers, I have them running at 5-20% capacity and within a year, I usually have figured out ways to put most all to use. The price difference between a minimal design and something like this usually not significant. So this is sounding more and more like a go.
