I have just updated my configuration at home using all existing hardware but using new software features.
I doubt I will ever upgrade the hardware now that Azure can provide IaaS for me (yea, I know Amazon has been doing this for years) but it was time for me to get smarter in using some of the new capabilities Microsoft has provided in software.
My VM Host has been upgraded to 2012 with Hyper-V but I have also added a PowerShell Web Gateway so that I no longer have to RDP onto SharePoint servers just to run a PowerShell script.
