That would be nice... I have a few cat6e runs going to a closet where I'm using the top shelf for my synology, router and mini server.  I added a couple in-door fans for circulation that are working pretty well for circulating enough air to not overheat in there, and the noise is less than the AC intake right outside the closet so don't really notice.  At least it's no longer right next to my desk.

I've been really happy with the NVidia Shield TV boxes, they're slightly overpriced for what they are, but work without issue unlike the cheaper android tv boxes.  They run Kodi and play pretty much anything I've tried from the files on an SMB/CIFS file share.  The Fire sticks are a bit underpowered, and other devices I've tried over the years have issue.  Also, having updated apps for the other services without being limited to lower resolution streams or browser hacks is a plus.  I'm using the pro model, haven't tried the smaller verion.
