New system with very close specs is around $2400. Used is probably twice cheaper but it's not gonna be so easy to sell it.

I'd give $1000 for it, 5420 are slow and power whores.
'Ripcord'ing is the only way!

You should find out the motherboard and chassis model numbers, the PSU efficiency and whether there is -F (IPMI/KVM) on the motherboard will greatly affect pricing.

At lease the server has plenty of drives :-) If the board is compatible with the new cpu, then get it and just upgrade the cpu later :-)

I found the specs... I was a bit off -- looks like it has redundant PS, but no IPMI...

4G (2x 2G) ECC FBDIMM DDR2-667, 6x open
2x 73G Seagate Cheetah 15k.5 SAS 15000rpm
6x 1TB Seagate Barracuda ES2 (enterprise storage)
Adaptec 5805 8-port SAS/SATA RAID Controller
(1.2Ghz Dual-core RAID processor, 512M cache, PCI-E 8-lane)
on-board Intel Dual GB NICs
8-speed slim DVD-ROM, no floppy
Supermicro SC825TQ-R700LPB 2U chassis

well, if you can upgrade the server board to dual socket 1366 such as X8DTI-F, then put couple of modern westmere/gulftown E56xx CPUs, decent size of DDR3 ECC reg RAM in there, then this still can be a very nice VPS node or DB server.
if stayed as UP server, with moderate cost by installing a X9SCL-F socket 1155 board, Xeon E3-1230 3.2G 4C/8T, and 16G ECC DDR3 would be a good alternative to make the server very up-to-date.
