Dedicated NAS or repurposed PC

I'm looking to create a NAS/Plex Server in the coming months, and have been trying to decide between buying a dedicated NAS solution with the required grunt for hardware transcoding, or leveraging any of the cheap used workstations commonly mentioned in the TinyMiniMicro series on STH. While I'm looking currently for NAS/Plex (So thinking TrueNAS if a workstation), I'm looking to learn programing in Python this year, so I'm somewhat leaning towards a workstation to host anything.

 

Are there any considerations I should be aware of, or preferred solutions?

 

Thanks
