Here's an interesting one:
STEC Mach 16 2 5" Server SATA SSD 100GB SLC P N M16ISD2 100UCU | eBay
SLC - 100GB - only 3.0gbps interface but likely a good competitor to the Intel 710.

Xeon 5520s have fallen to $40 with free shipping:
Intel Xeon L5520 2 26 GHz 8M 5 86 Quad Core Processor Slbfa | eBay

2x Xeon L5638's $165 ea. "15% off sale ends in 1 hr" - Intel Xeon Q3NE AT80614005076AA 2 133GHz 12MB 6 Core Processor ES Version L5639 | eBay
L5639? Q3NE? There is no such part in Intel's "official" catalog, but it does show up on some CPU tracker sites. Not just an ES chip, but an experimental one at that.
L5639s and X5679s are some of the rare SKUs of the Westmere chips. Very little documentation exists on them.
Side note, the X5679s OC like nuts. The L5639s also do pretty well. I have a pair of the X5679s and a few F@H friends have the L5639s folding.

Probably oem only. Intel does do custom shit for emc and hp etc.
p.s. have you ever done any overclock ssd raid benchmarks? I'd love to see the results if the bclk affected the sas 6gbps link speed I'd bet it would jack up the transfer rate -read- but if it affected write speeds it could do serious damage to an ssd since the slower the writes - the more longevity you get. If you could live with x25-V write iops with samsung 840 pro read speeds you'd probably see lifespan of 10fold.

Here is one - L5640 spicy down to $215 w/ b/o - Intel Xeon Q3NC AT80614005070AA 2 26GHz 12MB 6 Core Processor ES Version L5640 | eBay
I just picked up a pair of L5520's for cheap thanks to the recommendations in this thread.
Does anyone have recommendations for low cost heatsinks? I'll be installing in a tower/pedestal configuration, and I've never had to purchase heatsinks for a Xeon separately. Would the stock intel coolers that people tend to not use work for these since they're low TDP?

It's an Intel serverboard - http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/server-motherboards/server-board-s5500bc.html.
Do you know if the HP DL drive fillers fit also? Link: Amazon.com: (Pack of 4) HP Compaq 349460-001 and 349460-005 hard drive filler blanks for Proliant Servers: Everything Else
Those are the old-style fillers, which are definitely different than the new ones. That said, they are just fillers so how well do they have to really "work" in order to work.
If you need fillers, I have a good sized pile of actual Dell c6100 fillers that I can sell quite cheap. How many do you need?
