I'm assuming this is old, decommissioned hardware that being sold for like $10 or something (at least I hope he's not paying more than that for it.) It will be noisy and power-hungry, but not necessarily a bad choice for a hobbyist with no better hardware and no budget. Old servers can be fun toys.
The thought process was to pick up an old Dell workstation with dual x56xx processors and a 1100 watt PSU and add an Asus Turbo GTX 970 OC 4GD5 card and to be able to use both Hashcat and HashcatOCL. I won't be paying $10 for the workstation, but it will probably beat building a PC.
