Could anybody offer specific advice on what cpu to buy for a symbolic math 
server?  It will run Sage, Mathematica, and python code.  We'll be using it 
to do theoretical physics.

Our current machine is about 4 years old.  It cost about $4K at the time.  
Its specs are:
     1U server
     two quad-core processors at 2.66GHz (Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 ?) 
          for a total of 8 CPU's 
     64GB of memory 
     a 1-terabyte hard disk 
     running 64-bit Scientific Linux. 

We can get advice from colleagues who do numerical work for high energy 
experimental physics and condensed matter physics, but nobody else in our 
department does large-scale symbolic math.

thanks,
Daniel Friedan
