How would the thermals be on such a small PC? I'm sure it helps having the PC be located in a separate enclosure but in this form factor is the CPU fan just pegged at 100% and still hot? I suppose as a home server it would be very efficient.

Thermals in these are surprisingly well done. It's important to remember these are mobile chips, and are a lot of the times dropped into laptop chassis, so the power draw is most of the time a lot lower than your typical desktop chip. That, combined with having a little bit more room to breathe (than a laptop chassis, at least) means that you don't have to worry. Hope that answers your question.
