Another off-the-shelf item, you can find a used Z800 for a great price (12-core Xeon for around $1500). One thing that impressed me about these machines was not only the build quality, but the heatsink is really good - it's a quiet machine. I worked with a 12-core Z820 awhile back, and it was an absolute beast.
