Comment on First Home Server

I would set up a media server in the old case that fits your drives but set up the game servers on the lenovo.
Plex is fine for people that already have it set up but since you’re starting from scratch why not start with the free one?
Have you already bought a HexOS license? You can do more with Proxmox or TrueNAS for free.

I was about to suggest the same: Proxmox VE on the m710q, and something like TrueNAS, or good ol’ Debian (using NFS so the m710q VMs can mount remote folders) and podman/docker/whatever on the i5-4590 to run stuff like Jellyfin.
Another possibility: Proxmox on both, clustered (not that really hard to achieve), with a “NAS” VM on the i5-4590 node and another transcoding/media-player VM with Jellyfin (you can relatively easily expose PCIe stuff to a VM with Proxmox nowadays, including a gfx card).
If OP prefers runing LXC containers, Incus can also be an interesting choice.
