I use several separate small servers in a Proxmox cluster. You can get a used Dell or HP SFF PC from eBay for cheap (example). The ones I am using all came with Intel T series processors that run at 35w.
You install Proxmox like any other OS (it's basically Debian), then you can create VMs (or LXCs) to run whatever services you want.
If you have existing drives in a media server, you can pass those drives through to a VM pretty easily, or any PCI device, or even the entire PCI controller.
