If they have DDR3 RAM, I personally wouldn't use them Strictly for performance understandings. This being they would struggle to keep up with any more modern chip you can get that does support DDR4/DDR5 for a decent price.
That being said, if you need a server to run some basic tasks. You could do worse, but I wouldn't say I suggest it.
If I were using that site personally and looking I would look more towards the HP DL380 G9 for about $500. But anything from that site is going to SUCK when it comes to sound. Not something you want in a room where you want it to be quiet. Mine is in my office and makes a decent but not unbearable sound.
For Plex specifically it is a pass. This will have Xeons and Xeons don't support quick sync. You are going to be much better off buying one of those micro desktops from Dell/HP/Lenovo.
