Here's my submission for the setups. It's a mess right now, but go ahead and roast me. Cable management will be next on my list once I have everything situated. Lots of cables for four computers. ?
My setup is primarily setup for Photo Editing and Live Streaming Gaming.
This is my view when I’m streaming without any apps showing.
Left and top screen are my streaming PC (the one on the floor under my computer on my desk) and the main middle screen is my main/gaming computer.
I just added the big light today! It's a Neewer 15.5" Key Light Streaming Light.
Had an extra monitor stand and found an add on to make it into a laptop stand. I’m enjoying having a spot for my laptop that's not taking up precious space on my desk. I can move it out of the way when it’s busy processing photos.

Update 9/19/2022: thanks to suggestion of @Pyroofdoomandcheese, I rotated the radiator so the tubes are on the bottom. I also moved the radiator fan on the inside to push through the radiator instead of pulling from.
Running Proxmox running a VM of TrueNAS as of TODAY. I have a Plex server running under the TrueNAS. Learning how to use something other than Windows has been quite the learning curve but lots of fun!
A friend gave me the case, but the motherboard didn't post. Found an ITX motherboard with an okay processor on OfferUp, and took all of my hard drives that were living in external drives and now they have a nice cozy home in my home server.
There's two SSDs in the computer, one that has Windows 10 Pro and the other running Proxmox.
Here's a peek inside the mess that is my home server. MORE CABLES!
Don’t have a part list for this at the moment but it’s my only PC that's water cooled!

Nice…
Pyroofdoomandcheese
If your server currently has its tubes up like I think it does, you should try flipping the rad upside down. Will keep the pump alive longer
wfstr
You don’t want the inlet to the rad higher than the cpu? I thought it would help keep air bubbles from gathering at the CPU.
wfstr
Oh, I think you’re right! It’s just that some point of the rad needs to be above the cpu. Thanks for the tip!
Pyroofdoomandcheese
You want the inlet and the air at the top of the res to be in different spots to keep the liquid from foaming at the pump.
Pyroofdoomandcheese
Basically you want to keep the inlet submerged as much as possible for the health of the pump.
wfstr
Oh, got it! That’s helpful thanks for preventing future me a headache. ☺️

I rearranged the res. The tubes are at the bottom. Moved the fan inside to push air through the res. Thanks again for the advice!
Pyroofdoomandcheese
You can have fans on either side, they just need to be facing the right way to bring outside air into the res/case. Glad this helped.
