From an environmental efficiency perspective I cannot recommend. The power consumption of old server chips, even in idle, is pretty big compared to modern, more efficient 10-7nm desktop chips.
If your energy bills are a rounding error in your monthly budget then go ahead, but then you can actually afford modern and more efficient chips.
And then there's the extra heat and noise you'll have to deal with.
