I am getting the following pc and would like to also run a server. Power consumption is no issue as I pay a fixed amount rent, no utilities/electricity on top. I am also able to fully control port forwarding (no CGNAT). I am wondering if this will cause harm to the PC, if so how much harm?

Lenovo Legion Tower 5
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (3.70 GHz up to 5.40 GHz)
GPU: RTX 4070 Ti 12GB GDDR6X
Ram: 32 GB DDR5-5200MHz (UDIMM) - (2 x 16 GB)
SSD: 1 TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 Performance TLC

I would want to keep it on all the time since I would like to install like moonlight to stream games, and possibly also remotely access it to run machine learning algorithms. Along with that, I want it to host maybe a plex or some kind of media (at least file sharing) server so most of the time there is going to be hardly any usage. I was also thinking of kasm for certain apps which don't run on my rasp pi's (due to ARM)

What do you guys think?

Why not - I used to add my previous gaming machines to my homelab multiple times. The only problems are cheap mainboards. Lenovos Legion Rebuilds I don't know enough about to say if their hardware is ok for that - their workstations would better be suited, I gues. But usually I'd say: why not. Just remeber to have regular backups in place, just in case
