i already have 8400s but im looking to get a couple of 8500s

please post link/s to available stock wolfdales

thank you!
Chances are you won't find any - anywhere - until at least early next quarter, likely mid quarter. Your best bet now is to hunt down any Xeon E3110 (same chip, different name) while they are still available. It seems Intel has basically stopped shipping all the 45nm parts.
