How viable would be a laptop as a home server?
- power efficient
- small
- in case the power goes out it has a battery
- has built in peripherals in case you need physical access
- has built in wifi so you can turn it into an access point with filtering and firewall rules
- you can take the optical drive out and put an additional HDD/SSD drive

It's not bad.
Why not an older cheap netbook if you're concerned about efficiency though?
I've got a d2500 micro atx board that I plan on setting up as a server.

Depends on what you want to do. For a file server or maybe a lamp stack it should be alright.
For IO intense virtualization and such, likely not.

Good for all of those reasons, but you're still limited to the laptop's horsepower. File sharing, torrent seeding, and SSH is perfect for a laptop server. RDP and video streaming, not so much.
