Refurbished Performance vs Buying New

Hopefully this is the right place to post but I've been kind of curious on something (just signed up to ask this).  Has anyone ever used an older refurbished server/pcs for a new rig?  I wanted a new build to work with machine learning and was looking at servers.  I noticed cheap 6-8 (dual 4 core) xeon machines which need a GPU to make it gaming worthy.  Has anyone had experience with this?  It almost reminds me of his $150 8-core gaming machine that he did. Maybe this Dell Precision T3500 as an example?  Since some of them have rack mounting, would cooling be an issue?
