Two comments:

1.  If you want to make the server available, via the net, you need to 
look at something like Dynamic DNS.  Broadband services tend to 
periodically reassign your IP address.

2.  If you have any expectation of providing any services - even 
something as basic as hosting an email list, you can easily swamp a 
desktop/laptop class machine.  You probably want to look at something 
Xeon based.

Personally, I've been looking rather longingly at the Intel NUC 9 Pro - 
which provides a huge amount of capability in a mini-pc chassis.  
Basically, a workstation class mini-pc.  Of course, it's hard to get 
one's hands on them these days, and a well-loaded system will easily set 
you back $2-3000.  You can get some comparable, Supermicro mini-itx 
boxes for a bit less.
