If you're buying them brand-new, they can be pricey. However, I've had
great luck over the years finding high-end SuperMicro servers on eBay,
often with four hexacore or octacore Xeon CPUs, for $100 to $200, and all I
needed to add to them were one or two pairs of hard drives that I
configured as RAID1. The largest RAM config in a system I actually
purchased was 48 GB, but I could probably have found servers with
significantly more RAM for far less than $5K.
