If you think of a personal server, I would recommend to keep separated your personal user data, files etc than a bitcoin node. NEVER MIX THEM ! Bitcoin is Bitcoin, data is data.
Run whatever machine you want for a node and a NAS for all the rest of your stuff. On a NAS you could even have your own email /web server hosted.
Yes, I already have my node separate, and I'll keep it that way. I have an older NAS (synology) with photos, music, and some docs that I set up about 8 years ago. It's getting old and slow. I want to host my own email and maybe a few web sites now. I really want an upgrade, I guess.

Yep, a simple upgrade for a better CPU and memory will be good (if is too old). Synology is a great machine with good apps and you can access it wherever you are, securely and privately. Don't complicate things when could be simple.

Yes. Maybe that's what I'll do.
