Now at US $175.00 OBO
The ML370 g5 deal was ok. The shipping was actually a good deal, since it weighs at least 80lbs. There are actually 4 handles built into the sides for two people to lift it, that's how heavy it is. However, it doesn't have a backup power supply, which runs anywhere from $24-80 plus shipping. Also, its hard to see if it has drive blanks for the slots that aren't occupied. Those will cost a couple of bucks a piece. Those 4 73Gb SAS drives range $15-20 a piece here. 2 E5430's you can get from $40-60 depending on the sale. It's unclear whether your ML370 actually has VMWare. In the description, they said they tested the server with WMWare, Citrix, and Windows 2008 64 bit.
I did manage to buy the same model, with 16Gb of Qimonda CL5 RAM, 2x Xeon 5150 dual core processors for $40+$60 in shipping. And I bought two E5440's for $50 bucks. And 2 73K drives for $33 with shipping.
Also, besides being 80lbs, the rackmount version is pretty massive in dimensions as well. 27.25 inches long/69.2cm, x19 inches/48.26cm wide at the ends of the front bezel x 8.75 inches/22.25 cm high.

I forgot to mention that its a bit of a power hog. Using only one 5150(the other socket was giving me problems during the StartSmart software installation) at 100% load crunching on Windows 2008 R2, the ML370 g5 was pulling around 300W.

Now then young man, it seems you are not paying attention.
The posts where I link to ebay-UK are mostly available internationally from a USA source. If you copy the item number (found top right of the description field) into ebay-USA you will get direct to the source.

This was originally a Super Micro A+ 4042G-72RF4 AMD based system but the motherboard has been removed. Since then, the case has gone unused and is in new condition. It includes 5x hot-swap SAS drive bays and redundant 1400W 80+ Platinum certified power supply.
Of course if you wanted to build this up as original then it would be another $1000 each for MB and a set of 4 cpu's but I was thinking more about case and psu's and hot swap being good for a different build.

I'm not half made, I'm half busted!
I more or less need some white noise around me. I have quite bad tinnitus, and without some white noise (which fans make quite well) the noises seem MUCH louder. I could quite happily leave every system in the house running and not notice a thing, it's the wife that es about the noise.

now im thinking of a few of these i hate to go off topic.. lol
but thats what we all do. question i have is does the OS see these as 4 different mobos, or 1 big one with 8 sockets? how would i connect all 3 of them together? witha 24 port gbit switch, or are these inifiniband?
Its not overkill if it works.
You might try asking this in the Server and Workstation forum. Nirvash and some other guys are pretty knowledgeable about these things. While it sounds awesome having 8 quad cores and 64 threads in one rig, I'd wonder about the power draw, even with L5520's. Hopefully its reasonable, because then I can start saving towards one of these bad boys.....Or maybe Santa will give it?

at least one is poised for a late Dec delivery ive been checking a few forums and they are running about 750w witch is less then both of the quad sockets i already have

l5520 ca have a max setup of 2

for the C6100 it looks like a 2u rackmount server with 4 nodes in it each node with 2xL5520. ohhh so your saying it will see each node as one comp then.... damn i was really hoping to open up the task manager and see 64 threads going at the same time. just the sight of that would be worth a few hundered bucks...lol
