I have those same drive cages sitting in my spare parts closet lol. You can jam it into 3x 5.25” bays sideways!
How is the display connected?

Server pulls around 150W with drives spun down, over 200 with all 6 spinning. UPS with all the networking equipment, server, desktop, raspi and apple tv usually hovers around 200-400W depending whether the gaming PC is on.
My last month power consumption was 151.76kWh for the UPS or around $29/mo in electricity.
edit: server is an old Dell R710 w/ dual X5675’s, 128gb of ram, GT730 for transcoding, 6x4TB 3.5” SAS drives for the array, and a 500gb SSD for cache running Unraid.
Install docker for windows containers and play around and see what you can get running? I ran pretty much all the same containers as I do on linux when I was using windows server. 1GB of RAM is going to be the big limiting factor.
I use calibre and calibre-web. I have the DeDRM and ACSM plug-ins installed in calibre so I can buy a book from ebooks.com or wherever, drop the acsm file in my auto import folder, then just download the drm stripped epub from calibre-web and import to the Books app on my iPad.
You could use Tailscale funnel, cloudflare tunnel (I don’t know if cloudflare ToS allows video streaming) or setup a VPN/Tailscale and reverse proxy on a cloud VPS.
