E5-2470 sells for about $50 ea, E5-2470 v2 sells for about $110. But frankly anyone looking for more CPU performance should get the DL380p (dual E5-2600 v2 platform) instead.
Whereas DL380e makes a good and very inexpensive storage platform, not a computing node.
I purchased Dl380e Gen8 14xLFF from that seller. It works with ES 8core Xeon. Serverin genera is fine. But very loud. i had to replace all fans with different ones.
In the end i prefer to use my custom E5-24xx server due to faster booting and size.
