I was thinking about getting a Windows Server at a data center, use Team Viewer or Remote Desktop to access it and use it as an additional PC. Download and manipulate large files, light video/graphic editing, so on and so forth.
Thoughts?

Ive set this up for a bunch of tube uploaders. sooner or later for personal stuff you would want to get it down to your own computer anyhow. unless you are uploading large finals I think it doesnt really matter if its in a datacenter or not. the video wont be AS good as a local machine and you still have a remote network to rely on.
If you want to lower your carbon footprint. Go virtual. A windows server is just expanding someone elses carbon footprint
with you as a user.
