Looks like they are going for around $190 used on eBay with the CPUs and RAM included (some with HDDs and some without, but personally I'd buy without and use my own SSDs). Not a bad deal for the horsepower!

Bare in mind that nowadays there are used Opteron processors being given away practically for free. In fact, right now I have 6 Opteron 6172 sitting on my desk which I've bought off ebay for around 40€.

No, definitely not a bad deal. It will also take a ton of RAM.
