Actually unlike you are a paranoid security geek, mature solutions like XEN do 
not differ from what is used at prof. domain and root server providers. 
Unlikely that someone is able to hack through your xen-webserver to access 
your xen-fileserver.

Depending on the task you might like to play around with sending hdds to 
suspend and other power management stuff...
I applied once some of the stuff known for laptops to one of my home servers 
and it save a bit power.
Going crazy you can replace the often R/W-access folders of your system with 
mount point to a RAM-disk and save even more power... however with tricks like 
that you might risk data loose.
