shitcan the xeon machine and get a decent intel processor, either 11 series or higher and a good consumer grade mobo, either B series or z series, get a short length 4u chassis (25" long or so) install ubuntu, install docker and configure your containers and you’re gtg.
no need for a video card as quicksync will handle transcodes as long as you’re not running 57 4k streams at once, cheaper and easier to use… no need to hassle with the enterprise grade server for your use case.
