I thought about getting an old server, but I didn't feel like dealing with the noise. A workstation usually doesn't support as much RAM or as many hard drivesas a server, but runs more quietly and can pull double duty as a desktop if necessary. Servers also don't usually have PCIe x16 slots for GPUs, which was one thing I wanted to play with. If I had a spare room or closet to throw a machine in I might have considered a server, but I'm short on space.
