Well that's used stuff, so Moore's laws ghost still in effect.

The biggest problem I have with a used server is the inability to incorporate a GPU into the architecture. But I guess that really depend on what you want to do with it, serving a website will absolutely not require a GPU.

What kind of server does not support a GPU?

The form factor is (can be) an issue. I used a 4u case for my build a few years ago, and to fit my 1070 I had to bring out the dremel to remove some parts of the cross bars.
