AFAIK, SUN still provides eval-systems for free. I would evaluate one of the new X2270 with the Nehalem Xeons. This should provide a 50% boost even on 5400-series Xeons. Also, they use Intel NICs, IIRC. The smallest test-system already has 6 GB of RAM and costs 2000 USD, which you have to pay only after 60 days.
