+1 to avoiding the G6 equipment. G8 and newer is still quite serviceable, but older than that and you're paying to heat your place more than the performance you'll get out of it. I have several DL380s of various denominations here, but have retired anything older than g8 due to the comparative lack of performance, and the issues with trying to update firmware/ilo.

That said, while a server is overkill for a bbs at this point, if you run
something like proxmox and virtualize everything, then a single lightweight lxc container does fairly well for bbs duty and you can setup plex and other niceties in other containers.
