Used to run an older Xeon system I picked for free as home server/workstation. Now you can pick up 8c16t Ryzens pretty cheap and they even support ECC on cheap consumer motherboards, so unless you get used Xeon for literally next to nothing, you may want to consider other alternatives. There's also the fact that recently more and more vulnerabilities have been discovered in Intel products, which makes Xeon much less attractive platform.
