I am very impressed with the R930 we have in the lab. The expansion slots are awesome on this machine. I likely will not build this but just making a place for what I might build.
Chassis - DELL PowerEdge R930 NO CPU 0GB 2PS NO RAID NO HD 4x2.5" HDD Barebones CTO Server
CPU 4x - Intel Xeon E7-8893V4 QK5E 3.2Ghz 4Core 60MB Server Processor (low core count but high frequency)
RAM 1TB - have this
SSDs - have this
Probably around $6k + drives and SSDs in the lab to get into a nice machine. Figure another $1000 for controllers/ NICs. Not too bad actually.
