If you can go look at it in person, as opposed to buying blind over the net, I'd look very carefully at the liquid cooling system, checking for any evidence that coolant has started to leak, or run down inside the case. Best option might be to pull processors and the power supply to look closely at those as well as the inside of the case, but doubtful they will let you do that prior to a sale. Check which cooling system is in there...Panasonic is probably a plus. Though I've got a dual 2.7 with a the Delco/Delphi system that has no problems so far (knock on wood). If possible, get them to start it up and smell around that part of the machine...or for that matter smell even if not running, as the odor of burning antifreeze is distinct and lingers.
